Happiness is a word that describes an abstract concept, a sort of ever-changing ideal. What makes me happy at two, will not make me happy at twelve, nor at twenty two or thirty two.
Happiness cannot be the objective or goal of life since it is elusive by it's very nature. This explains why everyone is constantly searching for happiness.
Instead, I view happiness as being a by-product of life much like gas is a by-product of eating. No-one sits down to a meal with the intent to produce gas. It just happens as part of the process.
In the same way, when one goes about the business of living, i.e. pursuing careers, finding love, buying a home, children, milestones etc., we produce moments, instances of joy, grief and sadness. It just happens as part of the process.
Poof....ahhh happiness.
