The Pursuit of Happiness!!!

You are driving down a highway, smooth road, no traffic, no lousy horns, no nudging, no overtaking, you are effortlessly gliding down the road on the fifth gear, that's what I call smooth. Wish life's like that, BUT NO life's not like this at all. Life's more like a road after heavy rains with gravel coming out, huge pits full of water where you hardly can judge how deep the pit is and as soon as go over the pit the jolt just twists your neck badly, that's how life most of the times.

Now as a famous saying goes "Our life is the sum of choices we make", but then why is that there is so much of stress around the choices we have to make in our lives, every sphere of life becomes chaotic just when we are faced with options everything falls apart, when we at least need the other stuff in place. Why does all decision may it be personal or professional instead of making us feel empowered leaves us feeling helpless and deprived?

Why can't we rationally take decisions and move on, why do emotions make you keep going over and over the decisions already taken? Why can't life be harmonious and peaceful?

impressed with this post, every one feels the same, i even attend spritual class to understand, so what i understood so far is, "Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what's right"

I am impressed by the title of ur post and that says it all i.e. happiness can only be pursued, one can never have it. A simple way of finding happiness is being content in whatever you do.
by the way, nice post.
