thanks in advance 🙂
You may not see it yet, but eventually you will. Only genuine and durable happiness available on planet earth
is internal... totally independent of any pleasant external circumstances. Why? Because it's already inside you
and the real you is your immortal soul. Strip butt naked all the hyped fakes and cheap counterfeits and you'll
find only temporary stimulation. So, Bring Your Own Happiness. There's no other option available, now or ever.

I like a look of Agony,
Because I know it's true—
Men do not sham Convulsion,
Nor simulate, a Throe—
The Eyes glaze once—and that is Death—
Impossible to feign
The Beads upon the Forehead
By homely Anguish strung."

Things I Like
"The scent of an elegant lady's perfume by moonlight; the genuine expression of a man severely injured on some battlefield or deathbed; the trusting and inquisitive countenance of a child; the opportunity to trade ignorance for the discovery of knowledge; patient people who keep their word and are capable of forgiveness without strain; the color, texture and taste of the food chain; the occasional center board mate with a pawn; the rapture of books; the sound of my mother's voice; honesty and loyalty." -gb

As for the darkness, "there's nothing in the dark that isn't there in the light."---a line from M*A*S*H. Not philosophically brilliant, but I always remembered it.
Happiness? Wish I could help there. It means many things to so many different people. If I could achieve that "peace that passes all understanding", I'd count that for happiness.
