Happiness reverted


When you hear the word “happy,” what is the first thing that comes to your mind? Smiles, joy, nice days with the sun shining while a rainbow appears and a grey cloud never arises into the atmosphere. What about a utopia where there is never any crime or fatalities and the problems of money are buried deep in to the abyss of the wealthy social. A world where everybody is equal and there is not an electron in any atom? These all sound like happiness to me. There could be many more concepts that could be written into the endless story of happiness and the sun could keep on shining. However, the truth is that in the world we live in, the tasks of creating happiness is like a rubix cube. You have to twist and twist until all the parts are where they’re supposed to be, but even one square can cause you to have to find a different way. In some cases you just give up. Can happiness be obtained by all? Sadly the answer is no. We live in a world where people will cheat, steal, kill, and betray in order to be happy and get what they want, A world where in order for some to be happy, others must live in infamy, and a world where not everything can be obtained. How can we determine who deserves to be happy and who doesn’t. Is it true happiness if it comes at the expense of another person’s happiness? Is it alright for some to be happy while others may never be? Many people want to know how to obtain the secret to happiness. Everybody is on the pursuit of happiness. The real happiness is not what you find at the end, but instead its all of the memorable friends you met, memories you’ve obtained, and obstacles you have conquered getting to the finish line. Happiness is what you make out of it. It is not based on statue or position. There are poor people that are happy and wealthy people that are dismal. The same thing goes in the opposite direction. Life is all about how you make it. You can be a failure in everything you do, but if you’re happy doing it then what’s the problem?
