Among the most sought-after emotions, happiness is still considered the most elusive. This may be attributed to the mottled theories about what it is or isn't, and how one can attain it, if it could be obtained.Such a subjective state may suggest opportunity for individual definition and for ensuring that almost everyone who defines it and subscribes to their description is correct in their estimation of what it is, and more likely to attain it.
Many definitions pitch happiness as based on the fulfilment of desire. But that itself creates another compound issue, because when desire is fulfilled and joy accomplished, one may take the pursuit to a perhaps greater desire with an even more passionate search for fulfilment.While we see happiness as a pursuit of something, in my estimation, it should be more a matter of enjoying what we have rather than getting what we want. The "pursuit" suggests that happiness is in the future, but realistically it has to be in the now if it's ever going to be.
I've learned too, that nobody but yourself can make you happy. And, my conclusion is that there is no permanent state of happiness in which anyone can exist without intrusion. That's because life interrupts us daily to remind us we're living and experiencing varied emotions that, cumulatively, make for an interesting and fulfilling journey.It's normal for a happy person to experience sadness, grief, pain, and other "negative" emotions, which temporarily shifts the transitory state of one's happiness. That is life.
