We all want happiness.
But no one knows how to achieve it.
We pursue pleasure.
Thinking that pleasure is happiness.
But it's not.
Pleasure can lead to burn-out, emptiness, and misery.
The happiest people are those who are doing something to help others.
So is unselfishness happiness?
Not if it is not voluntary.
Helping others out of fear of punishment or a misplaced sense of obligation can lead to resentment and bitterness.
So from where does happiness come?
I believe it comes from our heart.
We are only truly happy when we are in love.
Something within us - our soul - needs love.
But it is when we learn to give love that we finally find happiness.
And then we will help and sacrifice and serve with joy!
Because our actions come form the heart.
