Lately I've gotten in the habit of considering how dependant on my sense contacts I am for happiness. Sometimes the thought arises that thought, too, is a sense contact, and if we didn't experience and appreciate pleasure, life would be a pretty dismal existence. Please elaborate on how to reflect skillfully on this topic.'
