Are you happy?
People try to do so many different things to be happy. But most of it will lead to a passing state of happiness. And there will be joy for a brief moment, that will soon fade away. The so desired "state of happiness" is not, however, dependent on the time frame. It's everlasting, for as long as the mind can keep track of it, not due to random timed events changing the perception. That's one way to define happiness the way people use the word for.
We thrive for making other people happy, so we can feel good for them. The betterment of the world, our surrounding environment, so we can have a place that will not deceive anyone from what we once felt as a good thing, a carefree sensation of the life. Money, so we could maybe exchange happiness with others who "have it". Or maybe just to blind ourselves and being able to concatenate moments of felicity one after another and feel comfortable for as long as possible, which could last a life time.
In a material world we try to use any resource we can touch and feel as real just to achieve happiness... But... What if our minds are not a consequence of our brains? What if the human mind is just manifested through our bodies? I can't understand how being unconditionally happy would be possible if matter is all that exists. Similarly, would a thought be made of matter, or just be manifested through it?
So...
If happiness is a state of spirit, a mental frequency to be tuned, or maybe just kept / recalled from childhood, since apparently every human spring is born happy, there is not a single thing a person can do in practice to achieve it because, after all, it's not something material. If it is a state of mind, it doesn't depend on other people, even if they can help or disturb it.
Maybe, then, happiness isn't the ultimate goal in life. By definition, it shouldn't be. To be happy, would require just understanding. Deeply. In fact, it would be so simple that it would be difficult to believe after experiencing so many complexity in the confused world of today. And just a glimpse of it might not be enough to get there, but it could be enough to start feeling good. To begin being happy.

Happiness... you know me, but you still need to ask. Happiness is not given to you from outside. You create it from within. Whether you make your life bright and enjoyable or distasteful as though breathing dirty, musty air depends on whether you can brighten your own mind.
It's appalling that so many people don't love themselves. They're the apathetic ones who are shortening their lives with alcohol and cigarettes that affect their brain and nervous system and age their skin. They have become accustomed to harming themselves. There are so many people who hurt themselves psychologically by becoming angry and irritated (ahem-NELSON-ahem). To become happy, we must first take good care of our bodies and minds. And in order to become happy, we must first of all have an optimistic mind. Wearing green-colored eyeglasses makes the whole world appear green. So when we see the world around us with optimism, everything will appear enjoyable and happy. After all, we color the world with our minds.
I know you're only going to criticize what I've just said, as usual - but as always - I don't care, and I stand firmly behind my opinions.
