Happiness

Nowadays, the pursuit of happiness has become a worldwide disease that has plagued the human mind.

For this, we've now kept on working on the basis of increasing convenience that we are now about to wipe out ourselves with AI's, as they are now going to start doing our jobs.

Almost every human today wants to be comfortable and happy that he's willing to do anything just to get it, even if it means causing harm to another human.

I've not been here in this world for long, but I've seen how the craving for happiness by us humans has become a lifelong goal for many of us, that it now seems that nothing else matter's more than our happiness.

What the world is turning into, I have no idea, but I do have an idea of where humanity is going to with the now ever-increasing pursuit of happiness.

It is doomed to usher in the end of man if we are not being careful. Put AI to one side and look at how feel good drugs are now the day to day water of many young adults.

I do not need to dive into all that as we all have one or two experience on it. But the whole event that's plaguing our society and lives is all leading us to somewhere where we won’t be that happy about.

Nonetheless, I am not convinced that happiness is bad on its own, but with the way, we've attached so much to this one emotion, that we are willing to do basically anything to feel it, it is never going to end well for our race as a whole.

If we are being observant enough, we are already seeing the cracks that are caused by this incessant attachment to happiness.

It's not bad to be or want to be happy. But I think it's not something that can be attained and held unto for long. It's like the season. They come, and they go…ying and yang.

If you strive so hard at happiness, then you should be ready for the opposite as hard as you could ever imagine.
