why shouldnt one want to achieve a constant state of bliss? how does one accept any state whether it be bad or good?

if accepting this moment is not wanting this moment to be different, how is accepting this moment even possible, because well always want this moment to be better.

The wanting a constant state of bliss implies that you dont already have it. You feel you don’t have that now and that the future will offer it to you. Your inviting conflict by accepting the illusion of psychological time. 

You have invited time to capture that which is timeless. You have invited the illusion to satisfy an illusion which leads to perpetual illusion and conflict. 

Thought/ego seeks psychological security. So if you are seeking/maintaining this movement to self secure you are inventing insecurity as the result. To seek in any direction brings the other possibility ‘it’s opposite’ into being. Seeking ‘the good’ creates the possibility of ‘the bad’ coming into being. Just like seeking pleasure implies the pain of not maintaining that pleasure or never even getting it. When we seek an illusion we inevitably suffer the consequences. You create the very consequences. Your seeking security and bringing about insecurity as the result.

The you that wants this moment to be something other than what is is the illusion. Any movement in the either direction is a movement of illusion. 

Volition ‘psychologicaly’ is a movement of thought.

My opinion is that you never find happiness until you stop looking for it.
