We want to be happy. We
work hard to reach a point called happiness. We are looking for where the
happiness is. We set our dream to be the happiest person. We want to live
happily ever after just like our favorite fairy tales. We even
write happiness as our number one life goal.
But, do we really understand
what happiness means for us?
Does happiness mean fashion brand we wear? The number of skincare
products we’ve tried?
Glowing and flawless skin? Ideal body which matches beauty standard? Our husband? Our wife? Certain amount of money? Our instagram
followers? Popularity?
The place we are working at? The house we live in? People who love us? People’s
recognition?
When we get those
things, will we be happy? Or it will make us pursue something bigger so we
suspend our happiness for that bigger thing?
Do we think that life is
for struggling and suffering?
Do we believe that life
only gives us difficulties?
Because we are not
happy, others have no rights for happiness. Are we thinking that way?
Does happiness only come
in the end of the chapter?
Does happiness only
possible after facing
sadness and disappointment?
Is “without sadness we
can’t know happiness”
right?
Were we born to
suffer?
We hurt each other because we want to achieve
different happiness.
Are we destined to hurt in order to not get
hurt by others?
Are we really that powerless that we can’t choose
anything?
Do we really look for
happiness? Or it’s only our ego to have material things in this lifetime?
Will we be really happy
when we have those things we believe as the source of happiness?
Does happiness really exist?
Is it necessary to be
happy?
Does being happy make us feeling happy?
Does wanting to be happy
mean we are not happy now?
Are you happy?
What does happiness mean
for you?
