Reflections on a quiet evening

Happiness is a transitory state of mind. Euphoria is short lived. Life is a string of mildly disappointing events, sparsely interspersed with happiness.
It's in this pursuit that mankind often sets his goals. We equate people, products, events and even love with this short, effervescent and subliminal feeling we call happiness. It is in fact so short lived and rare, I don't think any one has been truly happy more than a handful of times in their complete lives.

We blur the line between these people products etc etc against happiness. We confuse our minds and souls and direct our lives like that.
We align our lives trying to achieve theses things, forgetting the important things in life.
We are so comfortable in our shoes that we many don't even know what it feels like to walk on freshly turned earth.

When was the last time you smiled, not because you had to, but simply because you couldn't stop.

When was the last time you felt that if your life came to an end right now, you really wouldn't mind?

We confuse joy, pride, achievements of goals as happiness.
Wake up and smell the coffee. It's not gonna work.
Don't be a fuckhead, break free from the chains and in the immortal words of pantera..WALK.
