Happiness

Happiness is on of those things we long to obtain so very much. We spend endless amounts of time looking for it, and usually find it unexpectedly. Even as we grow up our parents often seem so much more interested in our happiness than our other aspects, with questions like “how was your day?” or “how are your friends?” because friends are one of the main aspects of happiness during our schooling time. And we all know that school is the first step in our life, we have heard that line over and over during those pain filled years, the one that goes “you have to study hard so you can get good marks, get a good job and have a good life.” Some of the time we just believed that. But for much of the time we realize that we would rather just fall in love, and make enough money and have enough time to have a barbeque or go fishing with some mates, enjoying a happiness that is far from consistent but is well worth the struggle. After all when we settle into that beer at the local, or come home to our loving family and we are asked “How was your day?” we aren’t going to reply “It was fantastic, I worked a bunch of overtime, got plenty of money, and lined up some more work for the weekend.” we will know we are happy, at least for the moment and reply “It’s going great now that I’m here.”
