How come happiness comes and goes so quickly? I can be happy one minute, and have all happiness destroyed the next. It's very discouraging, making me think: "What's the point of working hard to enjoy life, when that enjoyment might only last a few moments?"

My life is marked by feeling either down or neutral. So feeling genuinely good is a rarity. I enjoy these times, but I wish I could make happiness stay within my clutches for a matter of hours...days...months...NOT minutes or seconds!

How does one enjoy the good times that they have, without constantly worrying about when it will all fade away?
