I think true happiness is, almost contradictorily, found in the process of achieving it. Humans always strive for more by their nature. Once you achieve your goal, you’ll eventually feel stagnant and set something higher. Perhaps the task itself is what we truly enjoy. Whether you think that’s bad or not is up to you. On the extremes, some are driven to be more and more charitable, while others strive to be richer. Most people will set smaller goals and just want to get a more comfortable job or have better relationships with the people in their lives.
Happiness does come to the person that looks for it. You can travel the world, experience it’s wonders and do many things. Get the high paying job and move to the fancy city.
But there is some guy that never left your home town that is perfectly happy to work his low paying “shitty” job and all he needs is a cuppa to be happy.
