Happiness- without all the material accessories others tell us we need to achieve it, like a college degree or well-paying job. Happiness comes from within, and like a magnet attracks all you need to live. Happiness raises loving and caring children. Happiness gives you added life- no stress, no fights, no problems.
Unhappy people are the selfish ones that take everything they can because they think it will make them happy. But happiness cannot be bought nor worked for. It comes by letting go of everything you believe 'makes' you happy. A car won't make you happy, a house won't, a job won't, a friend won't, a boy/girlfriend won't, a wife/husband won't- unless you are happy first!

Humans always pride themselves to be a higher species because of their ability to think and make decisions. In my opinion, the ability to think is starting to get in the way of our lives. Because people think, and everyone think differently, quarrels and fights are started. Because people think, their school essays get discredited; students are not supposed to think, they are supposed to 'think' like people of the past who had written some books or some form of evidence and include those in the essays. Because people think, those who don't think have to conform to the ideas of the former. Because people think, they cannot come to a decision about some things and it will always be there, never-ending, never gonna be solved. Because people think. Too much in fact. Wouldn't it be good if everyone just do things without thinking too much? Go for it. On impulse. On instinct. Would that make things better? Look what has all the thinking done to us. Yes, we have the technology, the entertainment and everything else which people of the past did not have but we no longer have the simplicity in people. I'm not saying that people in the past did not think but they were smarter. They don't think so much. What's the point of thinking so much and still no conclusion and decision could be made? Doesn't that make you feel worse?
Bottomline: we think too much. Don't k. To whoever this is applicable to.
