You're right, that's roughly what we tried to capture, however I don't agree that "chasing" happiness is pointless. Being able to contemplate the "here and now" is absolutely important (and is listed later in the article), but some fortitude, understanding of my own needs and intentional action towards them did yield some results at least in my own experience. We haven't managed to find any quote which would touch on that and all were about the ability of experiencing of here and now, with maybe a slight twist of "give up fighting for your value, just enjoy what you already have".
