life, liberty, and the pursuit of nothing

What is happiness? The dictionary says it's a "state of well-being," but what brings it about? I'd say that happiness arrives with the satisfaction of desire: you get what you want and you're happy. But as the Buddha astutely observed, desire never ends -- and so the pursuit goes on indefinitely.

How about pursuing Nothing? Freedom from desire, that's they key. But how can Nothing not be more than merely another object of desire?

Only when you cease desiring it and simply surrender yourself to it.
