a particular man dedicated his entire life to answer the question 'what is happiness?' he had loved and been loved worked hard and relished the fruits of his labor he tried his best to do right by everyone and never to pass judgment he had travelled far and wide never discriminating and embracing every opportunity that came his way however he never truly felt himself to be 'happy' sure he had times of joy and of course times of sorrow but some kind of doubt always seemed to linger in the back of his mind that he was missing out on something better that he would rather be somewhere else and this was ultimately his downfall
he never appreciated what was given to him in the present and he failed to realize that happiness is not something one achieves but is something that one creates
happiness is the fleeting moment that you were in a specific place at a specific time and you were a part of something greater than yourself
