On Happiness Forking Opinions Podcast

    • Filosofia

On the face value, it may seem quite simple - spread your palms, and life will place it in your hands, but in our human experience, this doesn’t really happen. In my almost twenty-five years of existence on this planet Earth, I can attest to one fact, happiness is a fleeting concept. In modern definition, the route to happiness is in its pursuit. Popular culture - movies, songs, TV and social media entrenches this pursuit in terms of working hard or hustle. This hustle is for money, a great house, a car and a loving partner. This is the basic gist of the pursuit of happiness. I hate oversimplification, and this seems greatly oversimplified.
