Happiness

I have come to a conclusion that we are mostly unhappy most of the time. Happiness only exist as a form of euphoria rather than a lasting pleasant sense of satisfaction.

From the richest to the poorest, we are mostly unhappy most of the time. We lay expectations on ourselves and others that no one really knows what one wants and what each other wants. It is like laying misery on each other because happiness itself is an agent of change and hope itself is something that propels action. Only by piling misery on each other, can we ensure that no one can be truly happy with our status quo.

Happiness as a form of high and in the most acceptable forms are mostly hollow and banal. It's humour is not in the irony of situation but rather a cruel form of poking fun at each other- think of comedy but gladiator style. It's ultimate aim is really not to entertain but perpetuate our misery so as to ensure that we get a form of "high" from our superior position.

Ironic humour is dangerous too. It blows the gap wide open and pokes fun at things we would otherwise not dare to think about or even say. But unfortunately it is in this form of humour that one finds the most satisfaction. The humour lies not in the joke but rather it pokes fun at the truth- which is something of a rare commodity in everyday life.

It begs then the question if we all seek happiness- does truth hurts or does it bring happiness?

Truth sometimes hurts but happiness without truth is like eating chocolates everyday. You do not know of other pleasures or experience except that of sweetness.

 But the fact remains 1) is the truth really that bitter that we have to resort to eating sweet things everyday single day. And if we don't, do we pile on the misery onto others- in order to make our own truth easier to swallow.

The thing about truth is that it is what we make it out to be. If we think that life is miserable and the only way to get ahead is step on somebody or piss on someone's head then we would recycle the truth in our daily actions. And if every other person believes in this truth- we at the end of the day subject each other to each other's misery and therefore becomes a given truth in everyday life.

And if this indeed is the truth that most us are living and one can say that it is irreversible- then ultimately we would lived in a hollowed out existence. And of what is happiness when everyday life is degradation and overloading of senses to freeze the mind.
