Cynthia asked:

Does happiness exist?
If the answer is yes, how can we reach it?

============

Of course happiness exists! There's a John Wayne film in which a character asked John Wayne
"What is the secret of happiness?" and John Wayne replied "One thing". The questioner asked "What
thing?" I think Wayne just replied "one thing!" OK, you might not think this is funny.

If there is nothing good in your life it is difficult to be happy. But if you have just one really good thing
it's easy. The "one thing" will not be the same for everyone.
