Why chasing happiness is counter-productive | Gelong Thubten

Our relationship with happiness is that we see it as a feeling, a sensation, a buzz, a high, a hit. Because we're constantly craving those feelings of feeling better or feeling some kind of, like, sensation that makes us feel less tired. So we search for happiness in a very kind of instant gratification type way. And it's not a bad thing. But the problem is that that search for that kind of. That creates a feeling of unhappiness. The more we do that, the more we're telling ourselves we don't feel something, so we're feeling depleted, and we want some feeling that will make us better. But the more we chase that feeling, the more depleted we feel.
