Acharya Prashant explains that human beings are inherently suffering animals because their consciousness desires the limitless while being confined to a physical body and limited time. This fundamental mismatch makes happiness a highly sought-after commodity. However, the common happiness people experience is merely a byproduct of suffering, functioning as a brief glimpse or a 'trailer' that is both preceded and succeeded by sadness. This superficial happiness is dualistic and ephemeral, often consumed immediately for instant gratification without any sense of responsibility for its preservation.
