"i'll be happy if …. i'll be happy when " how many of us make our happiness pre-conditional .
You can find contentment in chopping wood and carrying water or you can find it in doing something else .
What is it that you want ? If you want contentment you can have it now by being grateful for and glorying in what you have .
Yearning for something unattainable , unending happiness without one moment of pain for instance is a true exercise in futility and sure fire way of making myself miserable IMHO .
I think there is a middle way between the two .
