true happiness
what is true happiness? is it a place we can all live, is it something we can buy, or is it a frame of mind? Happiness is a complicated thing, so many search their lives for people or things that will make them happy. Well, I believe there is a difference between being happy and having happiness.
During a single day anything could make us happy, for some people it could be winning money or just the joy of ice cream. When we say we are happy all it means is that we are getting what we want. But when when we say that our life is filled with happiness, that is a unique thing. Happiness is waking up and walking through the day totally filled with joy, not because of things but because you just are. During those days nothing can knock you back down to miserable reality. Buddhist had a great idea when they said "life is suffering", because life is. But if you stop looking for happiness and sit down you will be suprised with what hits you. To be truly happy, you don't need to make others happy to make you so, all you need is to find that place in your soul where you just smile.
