The Quest for Happiness

Humans are queer creatures. 
Many live life for power, for love, for god, glory and gold.
Upon inspection, these are but avenues to achieve the ultimate goal of life, Happiness.

Yet, when Happiness is imminent, when we can live in bliss and joy, do Humans accept it readily?
There is this Fear, of loss that follows gain; 
there is this Suspicion, of hidden undercurrents and masked complications;
there is this Rejection, of being spoilt and over-reliant. 

Its like a hunt, the fun is the sought for game, 
but when the meat is placed in front of you, the fun is no more.
Its just too easy, to accept, but too hard, to have missed all the fun.
We all have a bit of sadism in us, 
to experience the Tug-of-war between Sadness and Joy, 
to feel the Uncertainty of Insecurity, 
to be Unsure, to be Double-guessing, to be Imagining.

Maybe it would've been better, if Happiness was never given to us in the first place.
Maybe it would've been easier, if we got Hurt more often and received much less.
Maybe it would've been Happier, if we learnt how to Treasure the little things amidst all the sadness.

Happiness, Grab hold to it or Lose it, 
for it either brings you Unlimited Blessings or Lifelong Regrets...
