Right? Why else go through all the pain and hardship? It's to achieve happiness in some way. And I'm not the only person who believed that. In fact, if you look around you, most people are pursuing happiness in their lives. That's why we collectively buy shit we don't need, go to bed with people we don't love, and try to work hard to get approval of people we don't like.

Just a few short years ago, I did everything to chase happiness. <ul><li>You buy something, and you think that makes you happy. </li><li>You hook up with people, and think that makes you happy. </li><li>You get a well-paying job you don't like, and think that makes you happy. </li><li>You go on holiday, and you think that makes you happy. </li> </ul>But at the end of the day, you're lying in your bed (alone or next to your spouse), and you think: "What's next in this endless pursuit of happiness?"

For the longest time, I believed that there's only one purpose of life: And that is to be happy. Right? Why else go through all the pain and hardship? It's to achieve happiness in some way. And I'm not the only person who believed that.
