How I wished people have really thought about this very well , have we ever see it that it is not all about getting something as a reward that brings happiness or let me just say money at times, cause so many people as attached their happiness and joy to the financial part of life or let me say to the materialistic things that do come thier way ,I must be very sincere with you mate's ,that to me the concept of happiness or what brings happines goes beyond receiving financial rewards, grant or gifts 🎁, to it is something of the mind , which means to me base on my understanding,you can still be sad if the word happiness does not comes or stay within you as a person
so I will sincerely say and agreed with myself here {lolz),that no one at any point in time can make you happy and even to me , placing our happiness or getting it attached to someone's shoulder will really hurt us the more,so to me first I will say that we really need to understand and build the word happiness within us first as a person
we should erased our mind from the thought that financial things or material things do come with happiness the more or they are the sole source of happenies,don't misquote me here ,am not saying getting an unexpected alert or gifts item's at times does not brings joy,but they are not the sole reason for it,once a man lost the attribute of happiness or the feeling in them, whatever they get does not mean anything and even the happiness that comes from those gifts won't last long
but of all we just need to know how to build the ourself to be happy irrespective of whatever comes our way in life
Trust me on this, just as I always believed that my opinion can be very Wrong at times,so try and hard you take on this.
HOW DO YOU SEE THE CONCEPT OF HAPPINESS IN YOUR OWN WAY
Happiness is eternal. If you are getting happiness from materialistic things, that means you are not a very emotional person but the happiness what lies in finacial growth is momentary. The moment you purchase something, you will feel happy but after 2 days you will get bored and then you would want new things.
So it's not something that's stagnant in your life.
Whereas the happiness that you get by emotionally connecting to people, or doing something that makes other happy, that stays with you forever. That will give you moments to cherish all your life. Things break but people and memories stay with you forever.
Quite agree with you on the subject of happiness. It is more than any attachment to material things like money, possession and all people who see to have all the riches don't tend to be the happiest person on earth. As on many occasions they also fall into depression their numerous wealth. I believe happiness is more of a state of mind. A state only achieved when one find certain fulfilment in achieving something or been content with life to an extent. It is more from within.
People who seem to attach their happiness to something or someone are emotional beings and will in time find out that it is not the kind of happiness when the attached items or person leaves or the thing vanishes. Also placing on something in a way also has due to human nature man tend to lose pleasure in an attachment as one always get bored due to the ever human interest and wants.
Happiness derived from achieving a purpose sticks8 forever has it gives a sense of happiness when one remembers about it or when it crosses the mind. Alternatively we all have to seek happiness in the rarest of places has this virtue is not all about the glamour but about what it eternally satisfies the soul. The question we should all ourselves is what makes us truly happy as we has humans all react or tick to towards different things. What makes one happy may not make the other the same too.
At the end of the day we all should pursue that longing in our hearts, that thing we truly desire. Something it involves some soul searching and all in a bid to bring us to that place. We are deserve to find happiness. We should all try to create happiness has it is all closeby, all we need his find it doing what gives us Joy and satisfaction. It is constant search towards seeing the positives always despite how certain things might present itself
