Real life, with all its nuances and complexities, isn't the same, and this is especially true in the twenty-first century. Bad people prosper. Good people go bust. Read the newspapers or social media and it's easy to believe that there is no justice in the world and nobody is happy at all.

We were all happy then. Floating on a rare kind of happiness you get from seeing those you love happy, too.
But that’s just my memory breathing life into those photos, because it would take a miracle for anyone else to see them now.

Well, some places are happy places and some aren't, and that's pretty much all you can say about the matter. But if you think on it, you soon discover that no place is totally without happiness, possibly not even the grave--but we're not going there, you and I. When we die, it just isn't going to be us. Coming around the stretch, boxed in, we're going to find a little opening, and before anybody knows what's going on, we're going to ease through, and move out, and come down to the wire all alone, and go away, hollering and laughing, uncaught again, again uncatchable.

Julie Plec: Those episodes are always so fun to do because you know you're building the entire episode around an event. To be able to lean hard into a big, beautiful romantic wedding knowing that at the end of the next episode, half of those people would be dead, was great. We love that; we love taking happiness and then destroying it very quickly.

Through The Almighty's mercy
Thee has showered me with grace

And he has the authority of my heart

The Buddha compared attachment to drinking salt water from an ocean. The more we drink, the thirstier we get. Likewise, when our mind is conditioned by attachment, however much we have, we never really experience contentment. We lose the ability to distinguish between the bare experience of happiness and whatever objects temporarily make us happy. As a result, we not only become dependent on the object, but we also reinforce the neuronal patterns that condition us to rely on an external source to give us happiness.

Happiness and joy really need to come from inside yourself. You can't find it in external sources...When you are looking for it inside, you will feed you are failing and then one day someone will say 'you seem really happy' and you might think, Actually, yes, I think I am. I've realised that you really have to trust in the power of time: the knowledge that time continues and you need to do a bit of riding it out before you can see that time never stops and it brings all manner of situations and opportunities your way right when you least expect them. There is hope. There is always more. It's scary and you have to be brave.
