True happiness does not lie sometimes in the past.
It does not stay with passed events.
It is never trapped there; it is nothing static.
The past is unreal for now;
And past happiness is no longer true, but nostalgic rememberance.

True happiness does not lie somewhere in the future, either.
It does not wait for your wish to come true.
It is never ahead of you; it is never anything to catch.
The future is unreal for now;
Thus future happiness is nothing true, but imaginary.

So true happiness lies in the present.
It does unfold endlessly, along with the passing moment, along with you.
It is always free; it is unbound to anything.
This moment is the only real thing, always;
Thus present happiness, is the only one true.

Feel the joy of true happiness, now.
Then let the moment pass, and move on.
Don’t clutter yourself with past happinesses,
Don’t exhaust yourself chasing the imaginaries;
Only by freeing yourself from unreal happinesses, then you shall see;
True happiness is always with you, in the moment.
