this thought comes to me,
If we were happy
Would we think of the others,
Would we look for
Eyes to see us?
Would write we texts
To fill us with illusions,
This thought comes to me
If we were happy
Would we look for a sense
In the light of stars,
Would we try to explain
The mysteries of the ocean,
Or the soft fearful laws
Of the dew in our ideas
This thought comes to me,
This small fragile thought
If we were happy
Would think we of us,
Would think we of God?

I think even if we were happy, we would stil be curious. It's the nature of human beings to be curious about things around us.

It is an interesting question, and a well-put one here.

For my 2¢, I will opine that the enemies of happiness are firstly wretchedness, and secondly the perception we are being wasted here in this life. Decent treatment and a decent (and challenging) task or tasks are the answer on that level.

I do not believe that such happiness ever estranges us from our Creator, from love, or from compassion.
