We are often confused with the actual happiness and what we feel at the moment. May be what you think about happiness is completely different from the person sitting next to you. Some say it is a journey that we live, and some believe it is a destination to be reached. What it is in real?

Somehow we have been brainwashed into believing that happiness is a surreal feeling that is attained only at the epitome of one's being. Causing us to not even notice the smallest things that make us smile. And even if we do smile, we make mistake that feeling as being something other than happiness. Because we have been told that happiness is a destination and not journey.

We have been conditioned into believing that happiness needs you to have attained a state of euphoria that cannot be damped by anything. Whatsoever, so as soon as our smile flatters, just a little bit, our brain tells us that may be, we weren't really happy. Our brain tells us that this thing, that is causing us even a glimmer of pain and is not the epitome of our being and that we need to move and leave behind that, which made us momentarily sad, even if it give us happiness, we couldn't have described it  Why? 

Because happiness is the destination. Once we reach happiness, nothing can come in between. Or so we have been made to believe that. What if we knew that happiness is not the end. There is also that, which makes us understand what we are missing right now. That pain, that silence, that darkness, that makes us understand what true happiness really is. And to know that nothing last forever, each follows the other. So we could choose only but not to aim to be happy. Because if we did, we would always be getting disappointed. Happiness is never meant to be achieved, but to be look for, like in a game of hide and seek, when you reached through the curtain and catch your hiding friend and both of you fall in a heap of cloth and laughing together. That, That is happiness, and its not never ending. But it can always be like lost and found, again and again. Isn't that what makes it worth the feeling?
