THE IMPONDERABILIA OF EVERYDAY EXISTENCE

Happiness

If we are unhappy, it is because life is not as we want it. Life is not matching our expectations of how it 'ought' to be and so we say, "I'll be happy when. . ." Well life is not perfect. Happiness is a decision. Many people live life as if someday they will arrive at 'happiness' like one arrives at a bus stop. The degree of our unhappiness is the distance between the way things are and the way they ought to be. People talk about having it all together which is an illusionary notion because we are always in a state of change.
