As so...Such a proactive article! I agree with it =]<br />As someone once said, "I am not what happens to me, I am what I choose to become."<br />In fact, not that long time ago, me and my friends were talking about happiness. The majority thought: in the end of their lives, all people want to be happy. In other words, the ultimate goal (or even the final destination) for each person is happiness. I didn't quite agree with them. For my friends, happiness was gaining something they "didn't have". However, for me, it's not about getting something you don't seemingly have - it's appreciating what you do have. <br />That is true what you mentioned: we, people, often think - if I just had THAT car, THOSE money, THAT hair, THAT family - then (oh, yes, then!) I would be happy!..<br />Nonetheless, in my opinion, it will never be true. People are very peculiar creatures. They can always find a reason to complain, even when everything is perfect! I believe it is always the case because people themselves aren't perfect. <br />In any case, as Abraham Lincoln said, "Most people are about as happy as they make up their minds to be."Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11513552656056046533noreply@blogger.com
