Where Can We Find Happiness?

In Search of Happiness

How do we find happiness and where? There is no definite place where one can find happiness. There is no single abode for happiness either its available to everyone everywhere or for someone it is nowhere. Its strange but its true. Anyway, we are not supposed to consider negative things here as this is not the right place for such discussions. Negative things leads to negative realizations in life and positive things to positive realization. We can think of this world as good or bad (although both are true) but in reality what we get is what we sought.

There are so many ways to find happiness. A child can find happiness in a dress, a terrorist can find happiness in explosives and explosions. So, it is you who decides where can you find similarity between happiness and an activity (or happiness without any activity). I will like to list some common places and instances of happiness in our day to day life. A happiness that frequently strikes our vision, the most common philosophy of happiness.

The moment that action is over or that situation changes this feeling vanishes. It can be there for a day or hour or some seconds and absconds the very next moment.

Supported Happiness

The type of happiness that we just saw above is not an absolute happiness. I call it supported happiness, as it is only available when there is an external support, the moment this support is lost, we loose that feeling immediately.

Supported happiness is also responsible for mood swings to some extent, the day we can't find a reason to smile, our mood hits back. This supported happiness isn't a real happiness but its virtual. Its just a glimpse of what actually exists, it only provides us with a shade of happiness. Today we all live with it and that is all we expect in our day to day life because we actually not aware of any other type of happiness which can last forever, which exists without a support.
