The Pursuit of Happiness

The pursuit of happiness… What’s happiness? A sense? A state? Why is it so exhausting to outline? Is it as a result of nobody is absolutely joyful ? From what I do know, we’re joyful when we’ve what we’re in search of, based on that, happiness could be outlined as a sense of satisfaction that seems as soon as we obtain a aim, and as people are by definition eternally dissatisfied, they’ll at all times be operating after happiness.

This jogs my memory of the story of the Jar full of gold, that’s presupposed to be on the ft of every rainbow; kids have been operating for years to every the ft of the rainbow, and nobody ever succeeded. Furthermore we normally need many alternative issues, cash, well being, magnificence, youth… the checklist is limitless, Similar to our needs, and there are various goals we’ll by no means notice, based on this final concept, is joyful solely the one who accepts that he can’t have every little thing, in that sense, happiness could have one other definition and joyful will imply being happy with what we’ve.

To not be extremist, I might say that being happy with what we’ve will take away our want to maneuver forward, and to get extra, or to do higher; the explanation why I feel hat the key of happiness can be to create a stability between all our needs, to not give attention to a single goal to keep away from obsession and to simply accept that there are some issues we’ll by no means have and to discover ways to stay with out them.

All of this will appear very constructive, however this doesn’t imply that sorrow is forgotten in my method to see issues, sorrow is essential to happiness, as nobody can exist with out the opposite. To sum up, I feel that the key of a cheerful life could be summarized in two guidelines, avoiding obsession and accepting defeat.
