The most happiness

              Pshh, the Pursuit of Happiness. What a vague thing to say in the constitution yet it is precise in life. The efforts paid does not equal to the result or happiness in return. The meaning of living is not the final status of one’s life but the progress of chasing for happiness is. How pathetic, happiness does not come until one reaches self-actualization. In prior order to be in that status, one has to possess needs in category of physiological, safety, love/belonging, and esteem as in Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. The examples of self-actualization are morality, creativity, spontaneity, problem solving, lack of prejudice, and acceptance of facts. However, not everyone is able to or needs to reach this type of happiness. In other words, pursuit of happiness is an individual’s beauty. The persuading for happiness became generalized. The average of happiness in America remains below esteem measure. Writing the pursuit of happiness into the constitution is seeing all as one. It is true that no individual can live and grow up by oneself, but persuading of different dreams is what makes an individual unique. Americans distort their path of living and catch up other people’s steps. Everybody admires Bill Gates instead of themselves. Definition of beauty has redefined from inner to external. Believes have been set up primitively fails to adapt this change. Lies, cheats, and dishonesties dominate the society. The dashing progress of developments leaves us no time to locate ourselves. Therefore, we see other people to be aware of the environment. Who do we live for? Ourselves or others? Of course ourselves. Once we realized that the other aspects of ourselves do not match with the primitive logical meaning of life, so we understand that we actually live for others but think of ourselves. People become awfully selfish, corrupted, and brutal. People can no longer be who they are, and who they are is defined by others. In this case, happiness is easily forged, and the invisible blinks are covered up everyone’s eyes. The desire for lust, fame and power becomes everyone’s goal to life which leads crimes and disorders. Chaos is implemented by individuals’ heart, so are peace and love. Even though heart is often blinded and confused, what cannot be cheated is the fact of being alive. Smile and cry has the same meaning; the most happiness is granted only by oneself not from family members, friends, lovers or any other person. You define your life not others.
