The Search for Happiness

To be human is to find true happiness. Human beings are given the freedoms of speech, religion, etc., the ability to love, laugh, and lie, emotions to mingle with, and the ability to create friendships, some can be more meaningful than others. Humans are incredibly complex creatures that are thrown into a world of good and bad, but the ultimate goal in a humans life is to reach a limbo, a stage in their life where they are not worried, sad or sick, simply a time of pure happiness. Every human has a different description of happiness. Happiness can be a promotion in ones career after many years of hard labor, birth to a first child, finding out a desired item is 50% off, receiving a driver's licence, finding that "fish in the sea", or graduating from college. Happiness differs from one person to another, but in the long run it's that smile and brightened face that gleams of joy that sums up what a human is. Jealousy, rage, depression, hunger, tears, sorrow, and death illustrate what a human fights day to day. To get out of a shelter and own a home, to see a best friend again after a tragic accident, to get up after a first fall are all situations that any one human can strive for. To be human is to search for happiness and one day finally find it.
