Life is a great irony. People worry of things that might not ever happen to them. Every thing that signifies a sense of inspiration to one might serve a feeling of disgust to another. But the most ironic thing most of us do is the pursuit of happyness.
No one pursues sadness, yet sadness happens to them. No one tries to pursues failure, but failure will happen, however good you are. So how can you pursue happyness? It will happen however good or bad you are. So I ask why we make happyness and being successful a target of life?

One may end up asking then 'If everything is bound to happen its own way does my effort mean nothing in the chase of happyness or being successful?' Well the question is rhetorical but valid. Even if it asks a valid question, it comes out of the expectation that success must happen and in short while. Fortunately, efforts are counted, but they are not necessarily rewarded in the short chase you are on. You may hit jackpot in long run too. Its your expectation that decides that you should be rewarded in short or long term. And this expectation results in happyness or sadness.

If you say then, life will be empty without happyness or lazy and boring if you don't expect anything, I want to ask shouldn't happiness really be a state of mind rather than a pursuit? All we can really do is work hard and sleep well after it. However cruel it may seem, you still have to target for the best work hard over it but not expect the result to turn your way not to achieve something but to understand yourself and in turn understand your reason of living.
I said so earlier, Life is an Irony!
