Happiness in Contrast to Suffering in Human Experience

A man says that when he’s in deep sleep, there is no experience that is wonderful or not. It’s only when he wakes up and thinks, ‘That was a great sleep’, that it has a quality. Rupert suggests that it's only by contrast with your human experience that you refer to deep sleep as wonderful or peaceful. In other words, if you did not suffer as a human being, it would not be necessary to describe the nature of your being as happiness. The word happiness is only used by way of contrast with our suffering as a person.
