The Pursuit of Happiness
I think what we all want, more than anything, is to be happy. However, how much of our happiness depends on factors that are out of our control? What kind of job we get, the amount of money we make, whether or not we're appreciated, these are all things that are out of our control? Feels like we all build castles in the sand. I'm no different. The things that would really make me happy at this point are all out of my control. I mean, yes, I can buy myself presents and take myself to movies and out for drinks with friends and be cheerful, but the things I REALLY want are not things I can get myself but depends on the decision of others. It's a bit scary how much of our lives depend on fate, as much as we like to believe that we're in control.

hmmm...i agree with you fate plays a very imp role in our lives.there is no certainty that if you work hard and give your 100% you would achieve whatever you want in life.i think even being successful in life and even after achieving all the goals we would still be unhappy.humans are always hungry for more the pursuit of happiness remains as an unending path.haha sounds depressing but what can i say thats the truth.keep writing!!
