I've always struggled with the notion of "happiness comes from within". I don't understand how that's possible. I mean, it 'sounds good' but how are people truly happy when there's nothing "out there" to be happy about? I find it hard to believe people can truly be happy if they're missing things most would consider "happy essentials": money, love, and friendship.
Eh, who knows... Maybe "most" is just me, but I guess this topic is for another forum, huh?
I like this link though:
