How does one obtain pure bliss and ecstasy and yet does not have happiness and contentment?
Happiness and Contentment (peace) are good and to desire what is good is not evil. How is it that to desire what is good like Happiness and Contentment keep us trapped in suffering?
Happiness is obtain when a person fulfills his/her responsibilty, and if each person has some responsibity to fulfill then that person's life could not be futile, because his/her life has a purpose.
