Pursuit of Happiness

Why do we fail to live happily at all times? Is this because of our ability to identify and distinguish the happenings in our life? Or, struggling between duality of our own life? When we get good, we are happy? When we get bad, we are unhappy? Good and Bad-Why do we categorize all the time? Do we understand the reality or just take assumptions based on our experiences? Why is it always hard to see what is? Why do we have opinions on everything? Am sure intelligence is not something failing to see the reality or present. Why cannot we be aware and intelligent enough to understand the reality? Only then, we can pursue the happiness in our life. Life is full of pain and struggle at each level because of our needs in different aspects and it is an ongoing change as well. We cannot get away from that however we can understand what is and try to understand the depth of life and enjoy the moment. Is not it where happiness lies?

'Tis a beautiful life! said...

though i wish life was always what we made of it there are certain times and certain moods that just happen and cant be explained

but perhaps it is those moments that make the happy moments happy?

else how would you know the happy moments are happy ones if they were always around?

We dont know and why do we try to categorize even. Why cannot we live with whatever happens.....

Happiness is up to us to enjoy from the things happening around...is n't it?
