". . .Balance, order, rhythm and harmony"--sounds like contentment to me, and contentment is wonderful. So wonderful that I wonder if "contentment" is just another word for "happiness". Maybe what I define as "happiness" is actually "bliss", since bliss seems to be an almost spiritual high--one that is hallmarked by its intensity.
If happiness is "not a matter of intensity", bliss sure seems to be, and anything that requires intensity is hard to maintain.
Contentment, on the other hand, can last for a while without much effort.
Maybe there's a happiness scale, one that begins with contentment, travels through happiness, and ends up with bliss.
Perhaps if balance, order, rhythm and harmony are your baseline maybe bliss is closer than we think. Get out your thesaurus and let's chart a course.
