Smile is all it takes



II


Happiness is...
The happiness which we always strive for
often is hidden in the places
where we expect the least.
Sometimes it seems logical
That we need to earn happiness by diving into the Mariana Trench,
by summiting the Everest,
or even by catching an unicorn.
Because of a human's natural lack of willpower
or bringing up trivial matters as an excuse
we often give up those almost impossible missions and we think
that because of status quo it's just impossible to achieve the happiness.
If only we had more time,
more money
Or a better job,
we would definitely dive into, summit and catch.
We strive for remedy in unfamiliar places
and by feeling the instantaneous pleasure
we partially heal the loss.
For some reason, as simple thing
as it is to create happiness
is something unimaginable for our minds
while it's easier than making a cup of coffee.
The genuine happiness
as the greek would say, eudaimonia
should be sought on human faces,
not in their wallets.
The happiness that we need
is smile.
This is not the end, Everything starts now.
