Pursuit of Hapiness
In the past how many days or weeks, there's this thought that comes to my attention. At first, i tried to ignore the idea, coz perhaps its just one person's opinion. But then, from that point on, I always read stuff about it. I read it on the internet, I read a post saying so, and also saw it on TV, I saw it on a japanese comic book (manga), and now, a holywood celebrity says the same about life.
It's the saying that "Men are not destined to pursue hapiness".....
So tell me guys? What do you think about this?.... share your wildest thoughts and reactions about this.
cheers
way to go starseed!,
on a serious note, whether or not Men are meant to pursue hapiness, i personally think that we should pursue on the things that gives us hapiness in the end instead of pursuing hapiness itself.

Happiness is not so much in having as sharing. We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give. - N. MacEwan
Happiness is as a butterfly which, when pursued, is always beyond our grasp, but which if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you. - N. Hawthorne
Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony. - Mohandas Gandhi
What we call the secret of happiness is no more a secret than our willingness to choose life. - Leo Buscaglia
The mind is its own place, and in itself, can make heaven of Hell, and a hell of Heaven. - John Milton
The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet. - James Oppenheim
All seasons are beautiful for the person who carries happiness within. - H. Friess
If you want others to be happy, practice compassion. If you want to be happy, practice compassion. - The Dalai Lama
The basic thing is that everyone wants happiness, no one wants suffering. And happiness mainly comes from our own attitude, rather than from external factors. If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy. - The Dalai Lama

My opinion is that everyone is looking outward to find happiness, yet it is in the exact place where no one likes to go ... inside. And when they do find it, it is a choice to be happy.
I personally think if u are contented u will find happiness in small or big things, however if u r a pessimist happiness will bang on ur door but u will not recognize it. Its all within.....
well, for me i think this is something mostly men will say... once they get married and regrets it. hahahaha
or maybe its because men is more prone to failure and temptation thatn women. thats why some people realize it this way.
