Happiness is nothing but the consequence of inner peace and satisfaction. Without these two, its an empty shell -- on a barren beach. It will not resound and fill into you. Emptiness is always scary -- darkness, absence, silence, loneliness -- all are undesirable. Therefore to make it fulfilling, you must put life in this empty shell. To do that, one must learn to forgive, because forgiveness is the easiest way to your own salvation; and because forgiveness gives way to peace and satisfaction. Peace of having opted for the more human path (or rather the only human path visible) and satisfaction of having implemented. Peace and satisfaction combined with salvation, will lead to inner peace and satisfaction, which will reconstitute happiness, confidence, faith and strength in you. So, reflect, introspect, ruminate, forgive, and stay happy!
