How Happiness Pursues Us?
We can find happiness and sadness in everything around us at the same time. People who tend to think about the rotein of the day would find it boring and this will make them sad. People who do not think about every action or behavior of others tend to be happier. I think that letting go or forgiveness would help people not to get upset of others’ actions. Happiness pursues us through the things that we have for granted such as: health, shelter, family, friends, money and belief. Thinking of these good things and being grateful would help us to feel happy. Happiness could pursue me maybe through a small party my friends made for my birthday. I find happiness by relaxing, having time with my family and friends. Friendship is one of the most important things that bring happiness to me. Happiness could pursue us in a beautiful sunny day which we enjoy.

There are many things can make us happy. Setting goals, finishing a job correctly, having someone in our life that cares about us and we really love and care about that person make us feel happy. Happiness is momentarily because the reason of it is momentarily. We have to have an eternal goal to have eternal happiness. God is the only eternal reason for our eternal happiness/joy. We just have to think about pursuing happiness in different way as happiness is pursuing us. I believe that thinking about happiness and the future does not allow us to enjoy the moment that we have and this would leave us unhappy.

  1. I like that inversion, happiness pursuing us instead of us always in hot pursuit. But, "We have to have an eternal goal to have eternal happiness." Sorry, I can't buy that, especially if "God is the only eternal reason for our eternal happiness/joy." I find having goals larger than myself, but not so large as a God, are quite gratifying enough for me. Humans are not all the same in this regard, obviously. Pluralism and mutual acceptance must be our common goal.
