People have many ideas of what happiness is:  Tranquility, being one with nature.  Some believe that disrupting the balance or order of things makes us unhappy or that maybe all is happiness and we just choose to see the negative.

If you were in harmony with nature you wouldn’t see happiness or sadness.  There is confusion – at birth human nature is kindness, being one.  Why do we have to see form and formlessness?  We have been taught concepts about how the world is.  Children can learn anything because they are open.  We have been taught we are limited but we see we are unlimited.  The more we know the more we screw up.

Chapter 4 of Tao Te Ching looks like it's telling you to blunt your personality, live amongst the people as the same but it doesn't mean what it seems to mean. Lao Tsu means something very different. What are your fears? Common fears are: Being dependent; fear of the unknown; loss of control of self (if there is no self we don't need control); fear of what is going to happen tomorrow; death of a loved one or friend; fear of death; fear of failure; fear of disharmony.

Whether we like it or not we have to look at our fears. We must free ourselves of our fears. We never know what will happen in the next moment. Fear comes from the mind – we are our own worst enemy. We make up the concept of living and dying, we make up the concept of self. When we fear we become the victim within the triangle game. We are the victim of ourselves.

How do I see the Moon smiling at me at any moment?  If you have tranquility and peace everything smiles at you.  Can you stay at the nameless stage?  Once anything is named it is very hard to see anything smile.  It is very hard to be one with nature without tranquility

When you see the Grand Canyon the first sight takes your breath away.  You are not thinking, you are just experiencing it.  Once you use your intelligence you have lost the feeling.  The name is the Mother of 10,000 things.  Tao is the beginning of creation.
