I've read some sources stating that humans always satisfy themselves by superficial stuffs which indirectly provides them superficial happiness.
It's like we think that we are happy, but deep inside, we don't exactly feel this way. We could be happy after a day out with our friends, but when we retreat to our comfort zone at night, feelings change. That's superficial happiness. It's only momentary.
Yet we always neglect the stuffs that make us genuinely happy because they are usually the simple and insignificant stuffs that no one will ever notice. They are things that we take granted for. It could be a person, or a feeling.
Pure happiness, should be what everybody looks for in life. Not superficial happiness. The former is a feeling that stays on and never fades away easily. The latter is just self-denial.
So you tell me now, are humans naive or not?
We often make the wrong decisions in life for fear that what we'd have done would hinder our path towards our much anticipated so called 'dream' of our future lives, to be successful, rich and all.
But little did we know that throughout this process, we are losing what that might be truly dear to us. Perhaps that's what they call it 'gaining through losing'. Each time when we gain something, we unknowingly lose something, but we'd never seem to realise it because we'd be too preoccupied we our new 'gain'.
True happiness are what our subconscious mind truly desire, but yet we often neglect that mind of ours.
