The unrealistic truth of Happiness



Happiness is the goal of every human beings on this planet. It can be in all different modes and models. But it is not the destiny of everyone. Everyone is in search of it. Each one has it in their own ways. But one cannot dictate to the other what the real happiness is.  For one it may be having a comfortable life, for another it may be enjoying a delicious meal, and for another it is achieved through serving other people. There are people who feel the moments of happiness under the influence of drugs or alcohol which are not real too. There are also people who can feel happiness even under pain and suffering. So, there is no black and white definition for happiness.

Momentary happiness is achieved in the modern world by ignoring the reality of life. If happiness is a reality and it is true, everyone should benefit from it. Because a truth should be eternal like mathematics. 1+1= 2. It is a mathematical truth, you cannot change it when you want and where you want. Truths are truths everywhere and always.  But when one is trying to avoid the truth there is tension, arguments and struggle. But the moment you avoid the truth there is also happiness. 1+1=2, that means the real happiness you can achieve only by means of togetherness of truths. And that should be the goal of life. In reality making a ‘2’ should be the real goal of life.
If the rich is the first ‘1’ and the poor is the second ‘1’ and that should make the ‘2’ in reality and there should be reality of happiness existing. But in reality, that truth doesn’t exist in the world. Rich should be rich and the poor should be poor is the general reality. But when the poor struggle to make rich richer and the rich manipulates in such a way that makes the poor continue in their status, the equilibrium is lost and the truth of 1+1=2 doesn’t happen. If you want to Change your happiness factor rich and the poor should come in a state of equality. And that stays as always an impossibility at the present situation of the world.

If we take the first ‘1’ as rich and the second ‘1’ as poor it is easy to bring the equilibrium but in reality, the first ‘1’ is complete and the second ‘1’ is made of two ‘½’s and in those two halves, one ‘½’ is made of two ‘¼’s and so on. And therefore 1+1=2 is never a truth in reality.
So, the universal truth of 1+1=2 is not the real truth, it is just the end result of a reality. So, you can go on in the pursuit of happiness which is not a real truth. And happiness cannot be the end goal of life because there is no perpetual happiness. Happiness is a delusion. You can have only within yourself. Any association of happiness with outside other than yourself is never fully achievable.
