Dear Annamaria:

Welcome to the Forums.

To file a past “where it belongs”, is a long term process, depending how much in the way that past is. In regards to happiness, “whatever happiness means these days”- I think it probably means what it always meant. What it means for people, I am thinking, is the same as what it means to other social animals, satisfying social connections, win-win interactions with others, being engaged in the present circumstances, curious about what is next, looking forward to discovering new things.

What do you think happiness means?
