The illusion paradigm
By saying you want to be happy, you’re already telling yourself there’s a gap between your state currently and that you wish to accomplish
“I’ll be truly happy WHEN”
When comes and goes, rarely have I heard someone say “well I said I’d be happy when this happened, it’s happened, and now I’m happy. All done”
Fully agree, it’s a state of mind.
I’d also add most people who say they want to be happy don’t seem to be looking for happiness but rather contentness, but I digress

Happiness is a state of mind, but misery is a set of circumstances, and the latter precludes the former unfortunately.
