Everyone wants to be happy in their life, we can literally find no one in this world who is not trying to find happiness or be happy. It is that feeling that will make us feel delighted, satisfied and will give us a reason to live and find a way more perfect life which will help us gain more happiness. They are just surviving or living in order to be happy and getting a little closer to pursuit happiness of their own. Joy, gladness, heartening, blissful, etc are the minor parts of being happy. Every human being is always looking for the opportunity, place, or anything that will make them happy. People don't really know how happiness really works. I myself have experienced this phenomenon like sometimes we feel good, some days better than feeling good and some days we feel like we are at the top of the world and taking this inversely same thing goes on with sadness.

On top of that life is really futile, whenever one tries to find happiness they always get stuck on cliffs like the streets with no way of making a pointless life, no matter how happy one can be it is pointless without the basis on what is making us happy. Rather than pursuing the source of unlimited happiness one must really involve or prioritize gaining other feelings making oneself stronger and experienced which will make it easier to achieve the happiness he/she is trying to. Pursuing happiness doesn't only mean being happy it means the feeling of pure self, one's heart feels as light as a feather that satisfied feeling, for me it's like a steal a deal kind of feeling. Following the topic, each happiness will mostly end in futility and meaninglessly being happy has no point. Gaining knowledge is a necessity but the perfect amount of knowledge is hard to find, more like what we call impossible. The same thing goes with happiness. Many people can be seen gaining knowledge about everything but what they miss is the knowledge of truth and this makes all their knowledge pointless and it's exaggerating how this connects up with happiness gaining happiness is important but without any significant base it's kinda not worthy like it's not up to that level which we expected.

Human beings like being happy but they do work that only gives them happiness for a certain amount of time more like temporarily, they gain it and it fades away and that’s it and the whole process goes on a loop until and unless one gains the wisdom on why they are pursuing happiness and how does it modulates and shifts their way of life?
