True, relaxation from un-ease can bring me to a state of peace, but there are times I have so very much good that I cannot accept it's just a lack of Bad.
There's the feeling I get when I talk to my mother, even when she's in one of her confusions. There's talking to my SO for an extended call. There's knowing that I am creating something fun or beautiful. There's knowing I have contributed something valuable. Each of these gives me an active feeling of happiness, and it happens often, even when I am stressed or in pain.
