Sometimes.

Similarly, our happiness is unnecessarily intercepted by bouts of sorrow.
同样地，我们的幸福常常会被突如其来的悲伤所打断（或：我们的幸福体验常常被悲伤的情绪所干扰）。
Wouldn't it be great if we could just be happy without the intervening pain?

The same object gives immense pleasure to one person, intense displeasure to another.
同一个对象可能会给一个人带来极大的愉悦感，却给另一个人带来强烈的不适或痛苦。
So is happiness in the object.
那么，幸福是否存在于那些外在的事物（即目标或对象）之中呢？
Then where is it?
那么它到底在哪里呢？
Think.
思考一下。
As long as the desire for the cigarette was unfulfilled, the mind was agitated, unhappy.
只要对香烟的渴望未能得到满足，内心就会感到烦躁不安、充满痛苦。
The moment the desire got fulfilled, the agitation ceased, you're happy.
当欲望得到满足的那一刻，内心的不安与烦躁也随之消失了，你就会感到快乐。
So is happiness in the mind, and not in the object.
因此，幸福存在于人的内心之中，而非外在的事物之中。
