Human theme

Happiness. It's something all humans strive to feel at some point or another. Happiness, to me, is satisfaction with life and the ability to accept how things are and be content with it. Everyone has been at that point at one time or another, and some may be in that state right now (more power to them.) Here's the thing about happiness, it's a rare thing for most people. I know a lot of people who haven't felt genuine happiness for... months, years, a decade. For one reason or another, that feeling of satisfaction has continued to escape them. Whether that be a bad history, a sad time in their lives, or simply being down all the time, this nirvana known as happiness hasn't really been in their lives for a fair period of time. Now, this concept of happiness is important to me because genuine happiness is relatively hard to come by. It definitely happens at a point in everyone's lives, however late that maybe, but so many people lead the early stages of their lives in perpetual sadness, it's quite disheartening. My relevant hyperlinks to fit the requirement. This and this.
