Happiness
In this short life of ours, we often wonder what is the true meaning of happiness.
Setting up a happy family?
Persuing dreams or your passion?
Leading the simple life, retiring at a beachhouse or milking cows in some New Zealand farm site?
These images are programmed in our systems to be the perfect life or the perfect ending. We think they are because we picture it in our heads. We sense happiness.
Happiness derives from anticipating and hoping but not the actual result. True happiness is derived from the process, the labouring and then the afterthought. The recall of events. Happiness as such is never about the present. It is always about looking back or looking forward at something which has happened, something which may never happen or something that you think may happen. Happiness therefore never happens in real time.
What the hell am I talking about.

I wouldn't call that happiness. That's joy. Happiness is fleeting, whereas joy is there even in suffering.
True Happiness is looking at the role of 'Mo JingJing' and wonder why she is so contented with however little she has in life, and den realise that you are by far more fortunate than many others living in the same world.
Pure Happiness is too unfathomable to truly exist...

happiness is when you're accepted into the frat boys' social circle no doubt about it
