Do not crave happiness

Happiness is hypocritical. It is in the desire of what we think makes us "happy" that we drift away from happiness.

Do not desire to be happy. You don't always need to be happy. Peace transcends happiness all the time.

Any addiction is bad for you. There is such thing as addiction to happiness that leads you to hurt.

Bhagavad-Gita: One who does not dwell on the desires of the mind, but finds satisfaction from within, is deep in knowledge. One who is undisturbed by misery, not craving happiness, free from attachment, fear and anger, is a sage of steady mind. One who is without affection for good or evil, meeting both without praise or blame, is secure in wisdom.
