Every which way we turn, we see one thing expressed in an uncountable number of ways,
the pursuit of happiness
It is often said that the chase is better than the catch, and the longevity of satisfaction is a thing often forgotten by even the greatest and most successful in this world.
A topic of great interest to me, is what makes people tick, an indescribable urge to succeed? In succeeding they hope for satisfaction, for happiness. When they earn that promotion, when they earn that million, when they buy the mansion on Beverly Hills beside the sea tucked away from everyone.
Happiness.
Does it last for much longer than it takes to read the word.
Joy, the emotion of great delight or happiness caused by something exceptionally good or satisfying.
Emotion's are just fleeting, by definition life, life's struggles make it impossible for there to be a real lasting satisfaction, at least an earthly satisfaction.
Despite this, All around the world in this hour, this minute, this second. Millions if not Billions are working just to earn their keep, hoping eventually for happiness, that if they keep at it they will succeed.
There is no alternate, We need to do this to live, to eat. One of the rawest of human's nature is that of survival, of provision for oneself and for those who are close by.
I think its interesting to analyse the world through this tint of lens.
