I took a class on the psychology of happiness and we looked at the concept of "permanent happiness" as a reason why a lot of Americans don't consider themselves happy. If you reached "happiness" and then just plateaued forever, that would be a pretty shit existence. The class focused a lot on meditation and gratitude as a means of creating a longer period of happiness but obviously it's not going to stave off the low feelings we get sometimes.

It's cliché I guess, but it took me a long, long time to grasp the concept of yin/yang. How can there be only one side of a piece of paper? I read that life is defined by constant motion; up or down, forward or backward or in reality all directions and that the opposite, death, is just staticity.
