Have you ever wondered what is the true meaning of happiness? How do you
attain it? In my opinion most people don't even know how it feels like because
they are too busy or too naive to notice. Most people would misplace other
insignificant feelings with happiness. In a nutshell, they won't even notice it
even if it hit them right in the face.
In life everyone is in this wild hunt, a pursuit if you may, for happiness(I know, very cliche).
Everyone wants to be happy, no? Of course! Its in our nature to seek gratification
and avoid unwanted feelings. Only crazy people in life would always want to be
sad and angry. So what makes us happy? What gives us the feeling of satisfaction,
pleasure and contentment? Well to some people the source of happiness comes
from fast cars, designer clothes, that new handphone that just came out, a laptop
with great specs, that mouth-watering cake, getting good results, allowance from
our parents and so much more.
Wouldn't you be happy if you had any of the above? Eventhough everyone has
different sources of happiness but why not right? However if you noticed, the points
mentioned aboved are of course sources of happiness, but only temporarily. Why?
Well, a new laptop is of course a new laptop! But eventually life goes on, after all
its just a laptop right? However, there is a drive within us and urge if you may, that
keeps us wanting more. We will never be satisfied with what we have and carry on
demanding for more material possesions(happiness in the form of objects). It is a
fact that we cannot be satisfied with what we have and within a certain period of
time we would want ANOTHER handphone, ANOTHER laptop and perhaps
A NEW car, the latest of course. Its simple human nature that we cannot cure.
Well, does that mean that happiness is only temporary? Not necessarily. Happiness
in my opinion, is something that most of us take for granted. We constantly concentrate
on the THINGS we want so badly, to the point we fail to notice the PEOPLE we already
have. Material objects will often be cast aside and replaced but the people in our lives
remain in our hearts forever. Well we fail to notice that the people, who are always
by our side are the ones that makes us happiest. We are so used to it that we take them
for granted and give credit to material possesions for our happiness. Well who are these
people? To some of us it may be our best friend, a lover, our parents or even our pets.
As for me, I have an unlimited source of happiness and it took we a while to realise,
self actualization if you will. Well, I really cherish my source and I protect it dearly. I
can't stand life without it as the world only seems empty and colourless without it.
Nothing can light up and electrify every fiber of my body like she does. She's my goldmine,
of infinite happiness the rainbow at the end of the dark violent storm. Life seems only
incomplete without her. My pursuit for happiness is finally over. Time to stop chasing
in life and start appreciating. ILY babe :)
