So , so Rob my , my son believes you can't have happiness or a reward , a pleasure , a bliss , whatever label of joy until you've done some work until you've had some pain , until you've exerted some energy that's been difficult or challenging or hard or physical or mental and then you're rewarded with the , the happiness , the joy . How do you feel about that as a , as a concept that you have to earn your happiness ? Yeah .
Absolutely . You know , the challenge I think for most of us is that we think of happiness as something that we need to achieve or accomplish or acquire . But my experience , my life experience and the education I've taken has sort of let me know and taught me that happiness isn't what you seek .
So I'm gonna answer that at different levels , right ? And so much of this conversation and conversations about happiness really are conversations that come down to a concept . We , we sort of pay a concession to language , right ?
So call it what you want , but just do your best to try to experience it .

I'm , I'm very intrigued . Happiness is what you don't think . Happiness is not a state of mind .
