Mass Journal: Week 8
Sunday, 15 February 2015
The human heart is on a quest for happiness. Every person years for happiness like the desert yearns for rain. You have a desire for happiness; I have a desire for happiness. This desire is universal, common to every member of the human family. We simply desire to be happy, & we act from this desire. We often do things that we think will make us happy, only to discover that they end up making us miserable. This is often because we confuse pleasure with happiness [,] & sometimes long-term misery comes disguised as short-term pleasure.
