You cannot be happy with "something"

Question : Why do the objects of my happiness cease to satisfy after a few days or weeks?

Answer : Because you cannot be happy with something; you can only be happy .When your happiness has an object, whether a person or a worldly goal , it is an insincere flirtation that always wears off .True happiness has no object .Does sunshine need an object to shine upon in order to be warm ? No.Sunshine is .Happiness is .
