define: happiness

Been really busy all week, so I haven't been updating my blog...

So... I'm wondering what is happiness? Is it achieved when all your dreams come true? When everything is going according to plan? When people have no problems?

Problems eh? I'm amazed at how we, people, create problems out of thin air. And yet, we cannot pull happiness from anywhere without exerting too much effort... Without exhausting our hearts, looking for that something... that something which we think can complete our lives. And yet when we finally get our hands on something, we just ask for something more... We just look for another something again and again. When will our souls stop yearning for more? Or is this meant to be? Are humans really made to be this susceptible for more?

Contentment: easier said than felt. What can make us feel contented? That feeling when we say we can just die right at that moment? I think that's one of the greatest emotions that we humans are entitled to have at least once in our lifetimes. I feel that there is nothing impossible when you get to that point... You won't feel any ill feelings... You'll just feel that you want to die at that moment, just as long as you're still feeling that emotion... So that it will be the last thing you'll ever feel... and it will embrace your heart forever.
