The more I wonder at the shortsightedness of people who seek enjoyment and happiness here on earth: toiling, suffering, struggling, and doing harm to one another in their pursuit of that impossible, illusory, sinful happiness.

Life is a motion. Maybe you can't find happiness in this life. But I'm sure you can get a satisfaction of reaching your goals. They can be high.

If you think it is impossible to be happy without sinning, I believe the Dalai Lama and many peaceful Buddhists would disagree with you.

I believe happiness and pleasure are two different things. Getting them confused caused me unhappiness.

What about people who seek enjoyment and happiness and don't hurt others while doing so?

And what is "sinful happiness"?
