Happiness

Do you want to be happy? I always ask myself that question everytime i wake up in the morning.

Surprisingly, I can’t seem to know what to answer. Foolishly, it’s (the answer) just a choice between “yes” or “no”. Or maybe its not as foolish as I thought, for I know after the choice, it would mean that I have to answer the succeeding questions.

What is happiness? How do you become happy? Yes, more questions. More and more as it becomes vague and even paradoxical when you answer them.

Yet almost all people seem to direct every aspect of their lives reaching to have this so called happiness, when there seems no definitive point to direct or even just to directly position ourselves.

Or one position, for me, possibly, either you are caught up with religious beliefs or moral standards, Happiness could always stands for doing what is right. A context that seems to interfere, cause confusion and struggle to a person. Or am I just thinking too much?

In contrast to that, now, how can doing what you want instead of doing what is right does not stand for happiness? Is it because it goes against religious beliefs and morals standards of the world?Yet, having this contentions to back you up, do you know how to be happy already?

For selfishness has never been a justification, we have been molded our entire life by these standards to have such consciousness to adhere other beings needs more than ours.

Does that what I want? If I can answer that will I know what happiness is?

Happiness is then after all a choice and actually its no matter what choice. Its a matter of choice and standing by it. Sometimes, we don’t know what happiness is because we are afraid to make a choice. Human nature is always afraid of the unknown. Happiness is in the unknown until that choice and becomes much more unknown for people who are broken, lost and hurt.
