Happiness


I really love the metaphor used in this little quote and I somehow agree. Sure you must not dedicate all your time and effort in finding happiness because you will just be too tired in your pursuit. And sometimes what we think is happiness is something that is just an illusion or worst something wrong for us.

But I applaud those shiny sunshine people who I get to meet every once in a while because their happy personalities tend to be infectious in a good way. I love how they get to appreciate life and how they find happiness in simple things like the blooming of the spring flowers or a rainbow after the rainstorm.

Although everything that I have planned went all wrong I still think that I will still be able to be happy somehow. Because happiness is after all a state of mind. And we as human beings are capable of altering our state of minds making things better than they really are.

  1. This is a very interesting topic that I want to comment.

    You got a point that happiness is a state of mind. but i still believe that one of the ultimate goals in life is the pursuit of happiness. People just don't appreciate it.
    I read that self-sufficiency and tranquility constitutes a happy life. It is tough at first thought. but someone told me once, that most people that are happy are those who are honest and humble. And it is true! Sometimes, humility and honesty works as one.

    We chase for happiness because we search for the truth that lies in everyday of our lives. And we should be pursuing a truthful life. Veritas Liberabit Vos!

    And to everyone of us, good luck in the pursuit of a truthful life to a happy life!
