“There is no path to happiness. Happiness is the path.”
In Search of Happiness
The seeking of happiness is an irresistible human instinct. Most of us seek for some form of success, happiness or fulfilment, though our conception of these values may differ or change as we grow in the evolutionary curve. In the juggling game of Life, there are so many factors that we keep balancing in the air to avoid stress and despair. But does this ultimately give us that which we seek? Is there a happiness that thrives, independent of factors, conditions, and states? How do we get to the peak of fulfilment and stay there, despite the circumstances around us?
