Happiness

Happiness perhaps is desired more than any other emotion.
It is actively pursued and randomly realized.
Realized happiness, though in the eye of the beholder, seems to have a similar effect on all life.
The methods of achieving happiness vary as widely as life itself.
Much thought, contemplation, and planning go in to achieving happiness even subconsciously.
Wouldn’t it be nice if happiness was an easily achievable emotion under any circumstances?
Since happiness is an emotional state of mind, some might think that it is possible to be perpetually happy if they can consistently control their own state of mind.
All of our emotions come in to play not only because of our own self control but are also influenced by physiological and psychological factors both internal and external.
As long as living beings think of their lives as all important in the pursuit of happiness, and the loss of their life as detrimental to happiness, continuous happiness will not be achievable unless that being’s emotional brain patterns are altered physically or psychologically.
In our complex earthly existence it seems improbable that all humans would achieve continuous happiness even if each person strove to help all other beings to be happy. Natural disasters and loss of loved ones would at least temporarily continue to cause less desirable emotions than happiness.
Even if this world was our only hope for any kind of happiness, we obviously could improve our pursuit of happiness by a more certain realization of our own effect on the rest of the population no matter how insignificant it may at first seem.
I consider myself a spiritual person though science might claim that we see the world from a very limited point of view. Not only because of our physical size in the vastness of the universe, but also because of the very limits of our most obvious physical senses of sight, touch, hearing, smell, and taste. A sixth sense is thought by some to be only a result of our own thoughts contrived by the filtering of inputs through our five physical senses or ‘sensors’. It is often thought of as merely an output processed in a similar way a computer does to inputs from a keyboard, microphone, touchpad, cameras and even chemical analysis sensors.
A sixth sense some say can then only be accurate according to the quality, quantity, and pattern of the inputs and can result in an almost infinite number of results or outputs.
While logic of this kind is attractive and comprehensible, the simplicity of the theory alone seems to make it suspect.
I would suggest that while some of this is accepted as fact, it fails to explain inconsistencies in atomic theory and also the fact that even though the smallest theoretical particles cannot be consistently tracked, proven, or described, they nevertheless interact with the universe in ways that form an infinite amount of matter and could be argued to be life itself in an endless expanse of nothingness. I don’t mind calling this infinite life God to communicate a meaning though the word God itself seems to be utterly inadequate to describe all that is seen and unseen. I also have to believe that we (and our computers) are indescribably inept at explaining the ‘known’ universe let alone what we haven’t the ability to sense. Obviously this ‘infinity’ doesn’t discourage, and in fact motivates our most intellectual scientists and rightly so. Even being what I consider spiritual, I love the pursuit of knowledge in the hopes of discovering ways of cultivating happiness in all beings.
I also consider ‘love’ to not be merely the result of output from a sensing being but instead the very essence of the indescribable life that I have called God.
When I ask myself the question if happiness is truly possible in the vast complexities of the physical universe with my limited perceptions that I have attempted to describe in these few paragraphs, I have to believe that many seemingly improbable events forming lives that examine, create, and destroy have not only already occurred but also what I call God and love make ALL things not only truly possible but infinitely likely too!
