The importance of being happy
Remember when we were little kids, how happy we became when we got new toys, were allowed to watch an extra hour of cartoons or an extra hour at the playground. As we grew older, we became happy only when we got bigger toys like mp3 players, expensive new bags and travel to nice places. Notice how as we grow older, we tend to lose the ability to find happiness in our daily life.
Sometimes, I wonder where that simple happiness disappeared to. I am sure if I did a survey among my friends, there is not one person who is truly happy with his/her life. Exactly when did our expectations of the state of happiness skyrocket so significantly that most times we are in a constant state of trying to find happiness than being happy. Seriously, I do not know the answer either because I am one of the people who are constantly on the hunt for happiness as well. When anyone of you find the answer to my question, please let me know.
