Let’s talk a little bit about that crazy little thing called happiness. It’s a state of mind that everyone is after. Furthermore: there is a complete industry that revolves around attaining it.

But happiness is not static. It’s not that you do x and y which leads to z and you’ll be happy for the rest of your life. Happiness is not something that can be bought or saved like money in a bank account. Also, it has very little to do with how much money you have or what car you drive or what house you live in.

So, how does happiness work? And why is happiness like water?

I have been a happy chaser for many years. I tried it all. The first thing that I found that made me very happy was alcohol. But later I found out that this fluid does not contain the happiness I was looking for. Well, it does for a few hours, but the days after can be an absolute horror.

So, what else did I try? Romantic love. Being in love is one of the greatest highs that a human being can experience. Sometimes it’s so intense that the world starts to look pink. Later, however, the relationship ended and romantic love turned into romantic hate. The highest of highs became the lowest of lows. So this wasn’t it either. The same goes for eating food, buying that latest gaming console, going on a vacation: all these things are temporary moments of joy and pleasure that do not last. Ever.
