If we generally talk about happiness, it mainly comes from external sources. When life goes on without major problems—when relationships are smooth and material pleasures are easily enjoyed—we feel happy.
However, when hurdles arise, failures occur, or loss and physical pain enter our lives, that happiness is stolen.
To be honest, this is not true happiness. It is fleeting and dependent on external circumstances.
True happiness is everlasting. No matter how difficult life becomes, you remain calm, carry on, and feel content with what you have. This is true happiness—one that comes from within, from peace of mind and heart.
Therefore, lasting happiness is peace, and peace itself is true happiness. On the other hand, happiness is incomplete without peace. This, in my view, is the difference between the two.
