What is happiness?
Is it attainable?
The world is full of idiots who see material wealth as the key to happiness. The queues for the latest iPhone prove that.
Money doesn’t buy happiness. I suppose that’s easy for me to say that as I’m a ‘have’. For the ‘have nots’ it’s a harder concept to grasp. And quite rightly so. I’m a firm believer in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs in as much as all people require a certain level of comfort to feel happy. Other than that happiness is a state of mind generated by the self and cannot be induced by acquiring wealth.
Happiness comes from within.
“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness” – Zhuangzi
