are happiness and peace inter linked

A beautiful quote from an acquaintance becomes the inspiration for today's blog. It read, "if you are depressed you are living in past, if you are anxious you are living in future, if you are at peace you are living in present" when I read first line I thought that we can also be happy living in past, if we are thinking of some good memories, but then I realised we might get depressed thinking that it is not part of our current life. Immediate next thought was, that why hasn't the person mentioned anything about happiness? did we notice that happiness and peace is not inter linked, you might be happy but not at peace for you May have fear of losing that happiness.similarly though most of the times you May find yourself happy when in peace but its not obvious, for at times you are in peace because you are away from all emotions and in fact peace is a state of being emotion less.
