Niesztche claimed that the essence of life is to achieve happiness, but that we are not aware of it when we are happy (except for drunks). Your text is a way to reflect on that aspect and on how important it is to know how to be happy. It is true that with your reflection, we can notice the surrounding happiness and our own.

Hello @morey-lezama it is a pleasure to meet you through this interaction. Much appreciated for the deference of your visit and reading my post. I sincerely appreciate it.
Thank you for your discursive dissertation, loaded with philosophy.
I must admit and tell you that the phrase you attribute to Nietzsche, made me a bit of noise. I do not have extensive knowledge of philosophy but I have read of it.
To debate with you I have relied on a literature review and I think there is some confusion there. The one that comes closest to your reference is the philosopher Voltaire.
Nevertheless, I value very much your kind and heartfelt words, they in themselves overflow with wisdom. From them I contextualize that happiness is knowing how to be happy, and this surrounds us assiduously.
Thank you for your visit
Happy week
I have read what you comment about Voltaire, but it is not about that analogy. Although it is rather Schopenhauer, who says verbatim, "To feel entirely happy at the moment is something that no man has yet achieved, unless completely drunk." Greetings.
Thank you very much for the interaction and the deference of your words. Happy day.
