Lots of hits and misses, clouded with presumed hits and unexpected misses, I do have random epiphanies occasionally.
this one was a thought that lingered with me for a week. Here goes:
I wondered about the life span of the feeling of happiness... which one will last longer?
Getting something the way I wanted OR Choose to be happy with whichever that was given to me
As I recalled some of life experiences that I achieved something that I wanted, I didn't think happiness lasted very long...
Happiness lasted slightly longer when I got something that I didn't expect I will achieve.
The point is that feeling of happy soon went away. In the end, one encounter after another, this has left me chasing for the next "something" I assume will make me feel happy.
Therefore, getting something the way I wanted didn't prove to make me happy for long.
So what if I choose to be happy with whichever that was given to me? Will the feeling of happiness last longer?
Firstly, I think this is highly difficult. What's there to be happy about when we had a bad day... when we didn't get something the way we want to...
tbc....
mrt has reached my stop!
