What Do We Want? Money, Power, ...Or Happiness?

People have spent many years learning. Others, countless hours working in the day and at night. And some have stolen and even killed.

The cost of  'Success' is rising so high I'm afraid we might be spent in its pursuit. But what is it we are really looking for? The literal dollar bills or power just for its sake? I doubt it.

We are looking for happiness. A very high dose of it.

The big mansion, the yacht, the high profile event, the spacious office, are means to an end. A drug-like end. We get it. Addictions can be hard to break.

Who is entitled to the so-called success? The intelligent? The educated? Royalty? And what about the man who has non of these? Now it's getting twisted.

Everyone has a right to happiness.

The man on Wall Street makes his money out of his briefcase, and the criminal unleashes mayhem on society to get his own means.

Can the world contain all our 'success' chasers?! Or let me rephrase it. Can the world contain all our happiness chasers?

Why has happiness been so elusive?

Could we be looking in the wrong direction for happiness? I think so.
