0 pleasure n happiness

Happiness is a new obligation to modern life. People think they are unhappy because there's always lack of something in their life, like incomplete puzzle. Most people think to be happy is to be successful in all aspect of their life. That is impossible and so they think they are unhappy. Now, everyday is the hard one unnecessarily. Their mind is heavy with burden to be happy, to be successful in all aspect of life. Look at social media as facebook. It is full of show off pictures to tell people, "look, I am happy, I have interesting life, I have this and that, I do this and that." Then when someone gives negative feedback, all of things are ruin. Their angers are the signs of unhappiness. Trully happy people are not on facebook. They are endanger animals that are hard to be found. Now, people go for pleasure by having new stuffs, visiting new tourist attractions, attending parties, eating colorful junkfoods and all. And yet they are still unhappy. New stuffs become old in few days, holiday pictures are forgotten in few days too, all fades away too fast. Time is the enemy now. You are unhappy because your puzzle is still incomplete. After living the life for years, you will still struggle to find your happiness. You try one pleasure to another. You live like dorian gray. You wish to be eternal and happy, rich and young and beautiful. But dorian gray is unhappy not because he lacks of pleasure, but he ruin his soul. He is stressful and depressed inside and makes all pleasures as his drugs and remedy. It doesn't work. Then look at happy prince who never sees suffering all his life. When he dies and people makes beatiful statue of him, people put his statue in high place. Now he can see all kind of suffering in the city. He asks a swallow to help those people by sacrificing his beatiful rubies and gold from his body. To gave them happiness. By that way he feel warm and happy. Even if no one knows that the prince helps people secretly, he is happy. Dorian gray is the picture of most people, happy prince is the picture of budha. Pleasure is not the way to happiness. Happiness is an enlightenment, a knowledge that we are already happy and no need to pursue it. There is no way to happiness, happiness is the way itself. You are there by realizing that you are already there.
