The pursuit of happiness

Humans are of two types;those who live from moment to moment, counting each and every second of their existence and those that live from sensation to sensation, where the stimuli might present itself at uneven intervals, ranging from a few seconds to several years. We spend our entire lives in one of two pursuits,either to enhance the state of inertia that we were born into or to break through the barrier and achieve an opposite polarity. All our dreams, our hopes, our lives revolve around one fundamental principle: our inertia represents the zero or inhuman state and our efforts to deviate towards either extremity represents the process of living.Thus love,sadness, envy, nger are all deviations from the base, inhuman machine state.For example, when people fall in love, why do some feel that time just flies by while for others, time stops still? It is that change in state which the person in question effects in us which gives us a euphoric high and we term this reaction love.Thus it is not we who fall in love. Au contraire, it is they, the change bringers, who make us fall in love with them.The people who live each and every second look for that one person who makes time stand still while the opposite is true for the drifters, the sensualists.A similar case can be made for subjects like career, family, etc.Then what is unhappiness? To put it simply, it is an overdose. Too much inertia and too much change is hard to accept for most people, and that is where life becomes stale, boring or just plain depressing.Then there are the junkies who oscillate from one state to the next, constantly searching for the next fix. These are the truly unhappy ones, the ones who state that they don't know who they are.And it is true.Because the true pursuit of happiness begins with knowing who you are, realist or dreamer. Know thyself, accept thyself and then continue on to the next step; choose thy path.If we manage the first two steps, then the last part comes naturally; choose thy end.I guess life comes down to three things; insight, acceptance and choice.This is the true pursuit of happiness
