ABOUT HAPPINESS

Often, I find myself thinking about the human existence, and the same image always appears in my head (pardon my juvenile writing).



So then I think: life is pointless, there is literally no point in doing any of the things we do (except maybe for our future generations or for the planet). So why should we stay alive? What for? Do our choices and actions even make any sense? Will anyone remember us? 

The point of Life is to do whatever we want, whatever makes us happy, as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. At least directly, because when you think about it, someone will probably always get hurt in some way by our actions. Happiness is the only thing we should care for, before money, fame or what society and people expect from us.


Every morning when you wake up, you should ask yourself: am I happy? If yes, congratulations! Make sure you feel that happy tomorrow (or twice as much). If no, here are some reasons why you should enjoy life :

  • you only have one
  • if you are reading this, you have an internet connection and a roof of some sort above your head
  • there is at least one person on earth who loves you as much as you love them
  • you can read, walk, speak, feel, listen... and much more
  • you are healthy
  • you can afford a meal every day and drink clean water
  • your country allows you to think freely
  • most of the pleasures in life cost very little or nothing at all
