Pursuit of happiness: Abandoned

September 12, 2008 Imran Akram 6 comments

Over the past few years I’ve been trying intentionally to actually pursue a state of mind called happiness. Moments ago it just occurred to me that happiness is only a way you feel about somethings in life, you feel happy when you have certain criterion fulfilled in your life; but what if you change you’re criterion to the way things are. Once you change the way you think about certain things, you’d automatically feel better about those things because your criteria for feeling ‘happy’ just now happens to be coinciding with that thing.

Anyhow, I guess nature’s smarter than most people think. I guess people die when they have no reason to go on. Little by little you keep losing and losing until a time comes when you say: “oh what the hell am I here for anyway!”.

Sometimes I just wonder what was the purpose behind me being sent to this bloody place called earth.
