It is a known fact chasing of happiness is a long worthless journey, but no one can escape from this superficial chase because it is very easy and one finds going some distance it was illusive. Happiness is expressed and felt considering the positive emotions surrounded by the person.

Happiness can be termed as a problematic pit in which every one gets dipped like a predator hunts for its prey. By stepping back one can realize how many times extreme happiness was responsible for major follies in one’s life.

Emotions & Happiness Relation:

Emotions control the happiness and sad states of the person. Emotions are very volatile taking different shapes and sizes driving the person to do some thing, which could have been avoided relying on the coolness of the senses, which get erroneously charged by emotions.

Emotions are false because they have direct relation to the present state of the person and has no links with the reality issues. The person tends to behave positively if every thing is going on well and faces the sudden dip of negativity if some thing wrong takes place affecting the person’s security, which was not the least expected.

This is a short sighted approach like the well phrased slogan of ‘Eat and be Merry’. One finds great delight at the sight of eatables like large king sized Burgers decked with every thing not required by a healthy person, or a pizza of sorts along with Double chocolate Fudge sundae exciting the taste buds. The harms it shall cause to the stomach and body systems is ignored very easily in satisfying the falsehood of happiness,

End Result of Happiness:

Often happiness is riding on selfish mottos gaining at the cost of others. Happiness has very weak foundations that is why it is short lived and ends in repenting at last.

Happiness is an easy route to addictions of all sorts and vices. There is character assassination by self indulgence in the wrongs ignoring the rights coming in the way.

Chasing of happiness is a useless pursuit at the cost of joys, which can enjoyed for ever remembering good deeds done and their fruit of better living.

Happiness is thus an artificial driving force making person tempted to tread wrong paths in the pursuit of happiness. One is bound to encounter problems, because it is not the real path to get true Joys that last longer than the happiness.

Route to True Joys:

From above account Joy is far away from happiness, and it is worthwhile to pursue. True joy has its roots within the self of a person. Good work is required to be done to bring it out and share with others.

Joy requires of cultivation very much like well looked after flower garden radiating its beauty to all entering to feel the nature’s glories. An appropriate phrase says ‘A Thing of Beauty is Joy for Ever’
