Driftwood on the stream of life

Do you realize that happiness can exist without being externally triggered?

Many are not in control of their state of happiness. They have relinquished control to external forces, circumstances, or situations that must exist in order to be happy ... like driftwood flowing down the stream of life at the mercy of the currents.

With as short as life is, why would anyone want to spend a single second of it in a mental state other than complete bliss? We all know tomorrow is not guaranteed, but few live that way. Living like tomorrow is not guaranteed brings us one step closer to liberation.
