Hapiness is all about....

At a certain point of time, while i am sitting inside a four corner room where I can hear nothing but the murmors of my classmates, the noise coming from the outside of the room and the coldwind that soothes my skin, the feeling of emptiness strucked me. Thinking that I have already spent seventeen years of my life on earth meeting people, doing many things and accomplishing somethings made me think that it's worthwhile but......it came to me in a rush as our teacher assigned us to write something about a common topic, that I realized that my life misses the simplest yet complex thing in life. It is the understanding of what happiness is and what makes it. I was hen able to ask myself "did I already exprience real happiness?The answer is no, I never did. Asking me why? because I never tried to convinced myself that I am happy, that I am lucky to have what I have and that I am blessed in many ways. Wordly lures, great desires, unlimited wants, name them!!!they might be the reason why hapiness seems so hard to find. These are also the reasons why I never experienced happiness. I had much but I appreciate less, I had almost everything but I am still searching for nothing. I don't know whwt is missing and what is in it that I continue to search. It might just a discontentment or insecurities I assume. From then lots of questions bothered me. Do I need to own the biggest company in the world or be the famous celebrity or the richest personality for me to achieve real happiness? Are the material things the driving force of happiness?When can we consider happiness genuine?They say "happiness comes from within". Happiness is a state of contentment and appreciation of all the things and people that you have. It is a person's will to be happy. If you choose to be happy, you can be and in the sam manner that you will feel sad if you choose it too. Though problems exists, these could never be a reason for a person not to expreience happiness. You don't need to own all the world's riches to achieved it, for what makes genuine happiness is just a matter of satisfaction. All we need to do is to condition our mind that happiness is our choice and no matter how much we have if we do not know how to appreciate it, we can never have it.I then realized hat hapiness is really a simple yet complex thing because we are the one who finds it for ourselves and who hinders ourselves to have it.
