Where are you, Happiness?

Where are you, Happiness?

The ultimate goal in life is to stay happy. The toughest part is to determine this happiness. Does having your dream car makes u happy? Having ur dream car does stir ur emotions to a higher level. However, do u notice that u have one more thing to protect now? Will u still feel happy if ur dream car is scratched? Does the joy of driving a dream car outweighs the anxiety for the possible damages to ur car on the road? Does the joy of people admiring ur dream car overcomes the anger of getting ur car scratched? I feel that so many people around us are blinded by such happiness. Am i one of them? Mayb i am. There are so many questions that i wanted to ask.

There are many types of happiness around. Love, lust, satisfaction... Which of them truly grant us the happiness we seek? Or does all of them matter? We feel happy when we have a family, thats love. Can we sustain this happiness without obtaining any material needs? i doubt so. A basic home and a car. Happiness? Mayb for a short while. Human are like monkeys. When u give them peanuts, they want bananas. When u give them bananas, they want goreng pisang. The next thing u knew, u are the monkey. We want more each time. A 3 room flat to a 5 room to a condo to landed property... A corolla to a camry to a lexus to merces s class to a lumbor.... Our lust for materials is like a bottomless pit, gorging our happiness away. How can we ever feel happy this way?

A beggar can be happy. A millionare may be feeling empty. Take a look at the old folks around us. at their age, does it matter if they are drving merces? All they wish for is to see their children and granchildren growing up heathily and relishing the later part of their life with their family.

Happiness differ according to people. We have to determine this happiness in our lives. Balancing the needs for life and family constitutes to the major part of happiness. Are we pursuing ur material needs for the right purpose? Are we doing it for our love ones? Or just purely for oneself satisfaction?

Spend more time enjoying and immersing in the happiness of ur family. I feel that a joy of family outweighs any sorrows in this long journey of life. A simple smile from ur children might drive all ur tireness away. A simple kiss from ur wife might warm ur heart of emptiness.

We can never stay happy in our entire life. Do you wan to stay 80% of ur life smiling? or 80% in anxiety? Its all up to you. Monetary is just another tool in our life. It can buy happiness. But how long can it last?

Share ur joy around! Make the world a better place to live in!
Lastly, Stay happy!
