What we want to feel most. The most sought after emotion of all, subject of searches, cynicism, and sadness. Irony incarnate. The road to the best drags you through the worst. but enough of that, what about that joy and those fluffy little bunnies eh? By the way, if i seem a little less objective (cynical) its because I'm distracted. Sue me.
Anywho, happiness. For me and the cheerful (hah!) Americans, it is even a part of our declaration of Independence. The
pursuit of happiness. sounds like someone thinks we wont get it. I guess happiness is supposed to be the "ultimate good emotion" but i reserve this title for the mythical (for some) love. (more on that earlier, and later too. You may have noticed how i have said almost nothing about the emotion itself, but you try to describe happiness. I dare you.
So today i end at a bit of an anticlimax. sorry everyone, i said i was distracted. sue me. again.
The Quote:
This planet has — or rather had — a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much all of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn't the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

I'm happy now. I'm most definitely not going to stay happy forever, but I do know what happiness is. I may or may not be happy tomorrow, but that doesn't mean I'll never be happy again, just that I won't be happy continuously- the other emotions tend to intrude. The pursuit of happiness is my failed attempt to stay happy all the time. That's all I can think of saying.. :\ (Maybe I should flash a grin to accompany my first statement. So :D )
