Happiness is that thing that, perhaps, we do not know how to define well, but that we all look forward to. Sometimes we run after it to the point of suffering from a tremendous malaise due to the impositions we dictate to ourselves. Because we want to be happy, whatever happens.
If you ask someone where happiness is, they will usually tell you about objects external to us, to elements that vanish, which are beyond our control.
It is often said that health, money and love bring happiness. However, this is not the case: none of these three factors make us happy and believing that our state of mind depends on them is a big mistake, which will eventually lead us to be even more unhappy.
Where do we usually seek happiness?
Unfortunately, the human species has generated a multitude of irrational beliefs. These are needs and requirements that are found only in our mind, but which we hold to be absolute truths. Unbreakable sentences that must mark our path. In fact, questioning them can cause us the same dizziness that comes when we are on a steep cliff.
We mistakenly believe that if we meet these needs and demands, we will find happiness; conversely, if we do not meet our expectations, we will feel unlucky. Loads that no one can bear, not even us.
