Pleasure & Externals vs Happiness & Internals

     “Pleasure depends on where you are, who you are with, what you are eating,” Mother Antonia told The Post. “Happiness is different. Happiness does not depend on where you are. I live in prison. And I have not had a day of depression in 25 years. I have been upset, angry. I have been sad. But never depressed. I have a reason for my being.”
