The World vs I

happiness;can you find it

feelings are complicated. they are emotions cut down for specific purposes. emotions like sympathy, regret, anger, sadness, happiness. each one comes and goes. yet we all search for eternal happiness. Buddha referred to this as Nirvana. God as Heaven. others as paradise. but religiously happiness is not a person, thing, not even a true place. happiness simply is release. release from pain, strife, chaos, anger, sadness, sickness, hunger, stress, death. release from anything bad in you and your world around you. so why do we as a people look for our happiness in people, places, things? because though we believe in something we do not expect. so we take, and take. we take people's happiness from them, whatever shape or form it may be. and we keep taking. because free will not only gave us freedom to do what we choose, freedom to think what we choose, but also freedom to lie, steal, cheat, beat, hate etc. but it did not give us happiness. so we take it where we can find it. we slaughter, rape, lie, cheat, etc etc because we have been taught that that is the only way we will be happy. everything comes with a price. a price that not those guilty will have to pay but those kind, and vulnerable. but they envy, the riches, the lifestyle, the food, water... everybody searches for happiness for all their life. but they fail to realize happiness can not be found. anywhere in this world or other worlds. we are strong, advanced, free. but we are also fearful, greedy, and stupid. why look outside yourself for something that can be yours and only yours? why follow a book, a lifestyle, anything, because you think you might find happiness. why live all your life following to never have truly found it in the most obvious place? humans are weak. we do not believe in the true power we are. live for you and you will find Nirvana, Heaven, Paradise...You Will Find Happiness.
