When asked about what I want to be in life, most of the time I would say that I just want to be happy. But what is happiness, exactly? Even I don’t know the answer. I did write about things that make me happy here, but now that I think again, are those really happiness.... or merely just pleasures?
I know, it’s confusing. I just think that happiness is supposed to last longer than a few moments at a time? It’s like a more stable state than pleasure? Meanwhile, pleasure is more like the in-the-moment experience?
Oh, no, I’m thinking too much again, aren’t I?
One thing I know for sure though, happiness is not a permanent state. It’s impossible for someone to feel happy all the time. So, when I say I want to be happy, maybe what I really mean is that I want to be ready for whatever life throws at me. Only in that way then I’ll be able to fully embrace the happiness that comes my way. I hope you’ll get to do that too—someway, somehow.
