Happiness is a lie sold to us.

We're not meant to be happy. Its a tool intended to push us away from our morals and principles.

Honesty, it鈥檚 not something I focus on. Reminds me of a dog chasing his tail around. Instead I just concentrate on doing my best and enjoying the here and now.

@OlderSometimesWiser yes, youre 100% right.

I got dragged into the agenda of having to be happy. I only recently learned it was similar to a dog chasing his tail.
@darknessprevails Trust your instincts, do your best, and try not to get dragged into other鈥檚 expectations of how you should live your life. And thanks for BC. 馃檪

@darknessprevails Yes, I鈥檝e been caring for my wife who鈥檚 in her third week off sick from work. But us and the kids can still see the funny side of things.

That鈥檚 your decision. If you accept not being happy then you won鈥檛 be.

@travelguy01 right, well happiness is really just dopamine.. When dopamine is released in our brain, we feel a sense of temporary pleasure. Since its tmeporary, its obviously going to be a never ending chase. Which is why many of us are convinced something is wrong with us. Because we're sold we should be feeling like that 24/7.

I think what you're referring to is being content and grateful for what you have and not always craving for more.
