Is it not possible that there is happiness, but also misery and pain? I've felt both.

Is happiness "achieved"? Or "encountered"? "momentarily brushed-up against"? "allowed"?

In any case I think an approach like TTL's is worth trying: nowhere do they say "that eternal bliss is possible". It seems they're just trying to help people make things better for themselves.
