Happiness

Everyone in the world is in the search for happiness. We work hard and dedicate our lives to study so that we can end up enjoying ourselves and finding bliss and peace. However, very few actually become happy; for most their life is hurdled with misery and dissatisfaction. We continue to indulge in more and more bad habits hoping that by indulging, happiness will find its way to us; but this is never the end result. Many take to smoking, drinking alcohol, over eating, over sleeping, becoming lazy, etc. but they still do not find satisfaction. 
In life to attain satisfaction and to become happy, people learn different trades and various tricks to get ahead in the world. Some of these skills and clever minds bring many material rewards. Some own big houses in a number of states, several fast and fancy cars, multiple assets portfolios in several countries, untold stocks and shares but still their lives are empty. Real long lasting and deep satisfaction has not been found.
