Happiness Has A Downside Did You Know? What to Know About it

Happiness Has A Downside Did You Know?

You ever ask self that question that some have yet to have shown to answer? How it seems to show that, even when people show to have it made, and yet still show to not be happy? Happiness has a downside, and I think we all somehow can relate to the word Happiness can we not?  It’s is one that even has significant ties and sown into important moments in time. An important day in time I must say.

Where happiness attached to seriously enlightening words written. It was the expressions like: “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” that historically moved to the forefront in July, 1776. This isn’t me, typing to give a history lesson though, not at this time anyway. This post is in regards to happiness, what crossed my mind, and what came to me, afterwords.

Happiness Has A Downside?

Now what, and why would I even think of joining the two you may be wondering. Well, I’m finding out that, though happy and sad are opposites, there’s still a connection between the the two. Could it be that, one might experience much sadness while trying to reach the goal-line to happiness? I mean there are many goals that, we as people/human-beings have. some created without even knowing we have.

Goals play a bigger part in one’s life than you care to think about. Personal life goals, health goals, financial goals, and can’t forget this MAFA right here though: “Relationship goals.” That one alone will be the one, that tends to weigh a bit heavily on the mind, and Spirit of both man and woman. And when it comes to the difference in, and what relationship means to you!

I invite you as well as challenge you to take the time to read what I had to say about this thrown around a lot word relationship. Relationship on Another Level so anyway. The want and need for happiness plays a part within all the above. And that is good so, what’s wrong with that?

Where’s the downside in wanting to be happy? The downside is that, in between we’re sad in many cases. And the reason i feel so strongly enough about it, to touch on this topic. That here I am once again taking the time out to type on it, and deliver as a new post.

What Came to Me After the Thought

When I woke up this morning after not really getting any sleep anyway. I found myself not feeling as happy as I feel I should. I am happy of the fact that, I did wake up though ya dig, and that’s part of the fuel. It helps me to even want to strive to keep going. A lot was racing through my mind and this is one of those big obstacles I face on the daily.

I decided to fire up my PC computer and when I went online to check some stuff out. I came across something about If Happiness Weren’t the Goal and I was like: “Uh-oh” and that’s when it got deeper. It got so deep that, I had to reflect back on I song I did called: “Oon A Mission” from my Battle of the Mind album.

Oon A Mission

The article, a very interesting one shared. Showing how Happiness Has A Downside played a part in his life. He too woke up one morning in 2002 and realized he wanted to die. How he showed to have a just about perfect life on paper according to the article.

Clearly showing to Pursue happiness, but somehow the man faced deep depression down the line. The Battle of the Mind? I would say so, said to have tried the normal things, but couldn’t shake that sadness feeling. Facing a reality check after told that: “Happiness is nice, but it can also be an unrealistic standard to try and live by.”

Followed up with: “It’s not that you’re too sad, it’s that you’re trying too hard to be happy!”

Sharing the Light and Delivering Awareness

So, after just reading that alone, was also a bit of a reality check for me, too! How happiness has a downside and I can go on, and on about this but that is not the goal nor mission here. I’m just doing what I normally am showing to do. Going through my own situations/obstacles in life.

Helping others while doing so, and striving to fight keep my sanity throughout it all. Shhhh…. thinking ZoORillah doesn’t get mentally, and physically tired? You definitely might want to rethink that again. I know that’s probably what I don’t show, but yes I do. Yep, mentally tired of the invites of that feeling of failure as well.

The whole feeling of melancholia? But on the flip-side, if facing/suffering from melancholy also makes you a realist then I guess it’s worth it. Giving it 2 you raw by basically letting you know from my point of view, experience and knowledge of. That, along with the many things that we find brings us happiness and joy sadness, which leads to some form of depression sits within the shadows waiting.

And if living this out is a way of separating self from the falseness. Allowing me, live and stand in my truth aiding me, in strength and power. And if this is true then  that, Mental Health also is has a role. To fool yourself to think that, the goals reached when it comes to your pursuit towards happiness, you’ll be trouble free.

Never the case, and that’s why I’m delivering my thoughts on it.

So anyway, that’s it for now on this Happiness has a downside thing. Hoping that these thoughts to ponder on may reach those who can relate, in need and are in search as well. Who are in pursuit of happiness, but in the same breath are not deceiving self. You have those who really think after they reach the goal, their now finished with going through moments in time that tends to apply pressure.

The illusion is real so knowing the difference makes it. It’s not just about happiness, there are times I’m not happy because of the way I see things, feel as man, and artist and how looked at. People give me good reason to, especially those who are closer “relationship” which eventually leads to anxiousness and uncertainty. I have to find a way to just let go of my wants for things when it comes to anyone.

Thinking maybe I too should lean more to my dark parts and work on the ultimate goal of NOT looking for that happiness that, I so desire with people that, I hold so close to heart. I Find self building others up only to be letdown and disappointed in the end, but still I rise and still have work to do Can U Imagine ?
