Happiness in short
There’s a book about how to find happiness. I doubt it is that simple. See, happiness is not something you find. It is something you struggle for. The odds are that most of us will live happily is misleading. Achievers are not always happy. But they seem content about their goals and current standing. Rats do not aspire to be happy; they simply strive to survive. The question, though, still ponders: If we can’t find happiness, can we make it? If habits were clothes we use and once dirty throw in the laundry basket, and instead of lamenting our fate we went searching for it constantly, not dwelling for too long in our failures and focus, then things could finally be for the better. But let’s face it: complaining is easier than doing, and blaming is simpler than responsibility. Denial is one of the most powerful forces on earth.
