well,, thanks to my friend Dave who brought this up,, but are we really happy?

i was reading in my last book, and i like how this man is writing,, inspirational stuff..

The Witch of Portobello

Paulo Coelho

yet, it was somehow so true... i'm gonna quote some words from one of the main characters in the novel talking about the happiness we claim to search for..

Edda: " Everything is at once so simple and so complicated!, simple because all it takes is change of attitude : i'm not gonna look for happiness anymore in my life. and complicated because everyone has taught me that happiness is the ultimate goal worth pursuing..
after all what is happiness?
they say LOVE, but love is never has brought happiness, it's a constant state of anxiety, it's sleepless nights. it's asking ourselves all the time if we're doing the right thing. Real Love is composed of Ecstasy and agony.

All right then peace? Earth is never at peace ( it happens in the novel to call earth as the mother for a reason but im referring to it's name ) the winter does battle with the summer, the tiger chases the man who's afraid of the dog, who chases the cat, who chases the mouse, who frightens the man.

Money brings Happiness.in that case, everyone who earns enough to have a high standard of living would be able to stop work. but then, they're more troubled than ever, as if they were afraid of losing everything.

i spent my life looking for happiness, now what i want is joy. Joy is like sex - it begins and it ends. i want pleasure.

i asked people the most important question: " are you happy? ", and they all reply: " yes i am! " then i ask: " But don't you want more? Don't you want to keep on growing?" and they all reply: "Of course" then I say: " Then you're not Happy!" ..

we're surrounded by Universal Desire. It's not Happiness, It's Desire. and desires are never satisfied. because once desires are there, the are ceased to be desires.

When i read those words, i couldn't believe what i was thinking that happiness is what i'm looking for.. i was looking for joy, but i was saying for happiness.. but i didn't know that.

Amazing Paulo Coelho.. i got so much respect for the man..

what do you think? Are we Really Happy? according to these words, we can't be happy.. because we keep asking for more, but are we enjoying our lives? this should be the question.. we can't stop asking for more "happiness" which happens to mean here our "JOY" ... living each moment of happiness is enjoying them.. this is it exactly.. i don't know what to say.. i'm again in one of those crossroads where i have to stop and think a lot about my life.. im just in a state of losing my concentration because of the busy mind i carry wherever i go. I'm less focused now because problems keep popping along the way. once before i was more concentrated, that was like 2 months ago but change is the only constant thing, isn't it..
