I know it sounds strange, but you will never find happiness if you are just looking for it, or waiting on it. Believe it or not, you get happy by doing stuff for others, helping a friend, a neighbor, sick kid. You can actually derive so much hapiness from helping a child in the cancer ward, or burn unit of your local hospital that you wont believe it. It may seem like they would get it, but no... you feel so good. You can go walk dogs at the pound, or take mags or books to a nursing home, clothes to a battered womans shelter, or stuff like that. When I get to feeling depressed, I just make my self do something for someone who has so much less than me, and it really makes me happy (with me) and it is all that really matters. Most people think that money will make them happy, it doesnt. I thought having a huge house, lots of jewelry, cars, clothes etc., it doesnt mean a thing, really. I am now in the process of getting rid of everything so I can live a more simple life and help (deserving) people. Children are the best, they are innocent. When they are sick or hurt, they are so bored in the hospital, if you take some toys (call first and ask the staff) you may be able to ask your friends to help organize a toy drive (for Christmas) or anytime, just so they know that life is not total misery.. I really hope you will try this and find the kind of happiness I have found.
Jumping off a cloud will kill your family and friends.... it does not do anything but kill you and that will kill them.

I guarantee you you will feel worse if you do. Happiness is, first, knowing for a cerainty we are loved by someone and having someone to love in return. The first step in getting this knowledge is to give of yourself. Second happiness is having something to do with our mind and body that is mentally and physically rewarding. If you feel your occupation is slavery then change. These are two simple things you can work on.
Good luck in your "pursuit of happiness", Good mental health, peace and Love!
