A philosophical statement. To me, it is like love itself - overanalyze and the magic is gone.

I think it can also be taken to mean that, if you cannot accept a situation and never will, you will not attain a state of happiness in that environment.

I agree. If we hope or expect to be happy, we never will be,

Happiness is a choice, not a destination.

True. Happiness is an experience, not a fact.
