Happiness.

Posted bydiestlPosted inUncategorized

When did happiness become a commodity? When was just “being” enough?

Finding happiness was created over 200 years ago. It is created with capitalism in mind. A marketing tool.

Finding happiness keeps you in that eternal loop of consumerism that never stops. Happiness is in the sky, water, trees, flowers, dirt and grass. Happiness is in all of nature. It’s free.

Finding happiness is in the love you feel for another human or creature.

It’s free.

Finding happiness is tasting food that you cooked. It’s free.

How did finding happiness become so costly?

Finding happiness now creates anxiety and a cycle of consumption and discontentment. This is sold as happiness.

Happiness itself is a state of mind and being that transcends material wealth, status, validation or possessions.

Look out the window.

One thought on “Happiness.”

  1. I just did an episode on my podcast talking about taking the happiness out of your equation and aiming at adventure instead. I agree that happiness is a terrible goal to have as it is based on a false premise of spiking the ball and an end all be all. It takes away the enjoyment of life and the journey to get where you say you want to go.
