**What is happiness?**
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
A mirror of your misery? A form of self-anesthesia?
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
There is no ultimate happiness, there is no absolute state of satisfactory.
|
||
|
||
The concept of happiness requires dissatisfactory as its pre-condition,
|
||
|
||
heavily based on the margin between what you are and what you wish.
|
||
|
||
By establishing this gap between expectation and reality, one would experience a flash of euphoria by reaching his assumed end, then soon moved on to the next.
|
||
|
||
|
||
|
||
We desire things that we do not desire.
|
||
|
||
All happiness exists from your dissatisfaction.
|
||
|
||
As All happiness exists from beyond your reach;
|
||
|
||
All happiness exists not within but without ourselves;
|
||
|
||
|
||
|

I’ve struggled a long time to sustain my positivity, my optimism, and constantly aiming towards happiness. But, as time went by, I realize it is simply impossible. I thought true happiness is the key for my salvation from suffering, but it is the exact concept that is enslaving me. Ironically the eternal suffering which I was avoiding, remained as the one forever consistence existence in life. Through these suffering I grew, learned and experienced life as it is. By treating suffering as both mean and end in itself, happiness is derived from the the margin between suffering. |
