The more I think about it, it seems that long-term happiness is something many people spend their lives seeking OR they believe it’s something they used to have and lost.
That makes me wonder if we are truly ever happy? Or if it’s something that is always just out of reach (in the future or in the past).
Happiness is irrelevant. You do what you need to do your duty to support yourself and your family first, then your fellow man second.
If you’re not even momentarily happy, why do all of this?
You are momentarily happy. But the point is it’s a fleeting feeling. And if you go chasing it, you won’t even have that.
Focus on doing your job, and I don’t mean this in a capitalistic way but I mean be a good father, brother, son. The rest comes and goes.
