Pursuit of Happiness. Possible ?
|
What is happiness ? Does it even exist, is obtaining it even possible or are we only able to pursue it ? People us that word all of the time but what does it really mean ? What does happy look like ? How does happy feel ? I know that moments of joy are possible but is that happiness ? Is happiness a momentarily feeling or a state of being in which someone reaches a point where there life is lived in this state ? What brings a person happiness ? Is it money? Love ? Success ? Being of service to others ? These questions are legitimate ones in my opinion , they make you think and ask more questions. Are we really happy or are we just existing until we come upon something that makes us feel like we are ? People speak of emotional states like happiness or depression or anger or anything at all like they are absolutes. Nothing on this earth is an absolute, nothing exist solely without other things to go along with it. I wonder if happiness is a place that one arrives or moments of joy and pleasure along a greater journey in which you experience all kinds of different emotions and states of being. Are we forever searching for this "Happiness " or do we accept that maybe it is a myth, a place that only exist in our dreams ? Who is happy in a world that says you have to be the most beautiful, rich, smart? In a society that says we have to have the biggest house, car, bank account. Where we strive for perfection but never get there, where society always ups the ante and pushes the line further ahead. Is happiness like perfection in that it is not possible, where it is possible to feel good at times but we can never be truly happy ? Is the person who says "I want to be happy " forever trying to reach a place that is not there ? Are they destined to be disappointed in what they find in this endless search for happiness. Are we better off to be satisfied in our pursuit of happiness instead of worrying about whether we will get there or not? These are important questions as we live in a society and world where we are on this endless mission to find this state we call happiness, what does this mean ? Finally, is happiness something that must be obtained in ourselves first or can we feel it from all that we seek in life ? Maybe, happiness is a series of moments and not a destination as so many of us feel that it is. What do you think ?
