Pain is fundamentally opposed to pleasure, not to happiness. Being happy may, at many moments, entail displeasure, discomfort, such as the disciplined effort of studying, working on the less satisfying aspects of our professional occupations, navigating interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts.
Being happy begins with being at peace, unfolds through the fulfillment of one’s duty, is completed in the realization of one’s vocational impulses, which are deeply personal, inalienably individual, singular, distinct obligations that, when heeded, bring fulfillment to the individual within the context of their current evolutionary stage.
