Why is peace of mind and happiness impossible to achieve in this world? And perhaps part of wisdom is to realize that we ought to be partially happy and partially in peace, yet partially distressed and in grief (due to problems in this world). We can have moments of happiness and pleasure (like when having sex) and be distressed at other moments and in grief in other moments.
