Personal happiness is a peculiar concept. It differs from person to person. In many cases people do not know what makes them truly happy so they follow societal norms in order to achieve happiness that’s not really there. The concept of happiness is basically a way for life to feel purposeful. Unlike death, happiness is not guaranteed and especially in our world today people search high and low for happiness and end up finding none because they are going after things that won’t truly make them happy. Happiness is all about feeling whole. Many people feel empty in our world today and no matter what they go after they will never truly feel complete. Responsibility doesn’t get in the way of happiness, nor does it go hand in hand with happiness. It’s a false concept. If you do all you are suppose to and take on your responsibilities, you can still end up unhappy. Happiness comes from within and is only achievable when you find what makes you personally happy regardless of what anyone thinks.
