Pursuit of Happiness. Some say it is a state of mind. Some say is the attainment of inner peace. Some say it is enlightenment.
Most common people is in pursuit of happiness. What do they pursuit, confort, happy family, status in society, respected, financially successful, great friends, healthy, great job, entertainment, etc. etc..
What happen when everyone is trying to attain the so called happiness? Conflict is produced. One will try to outsmart another. Ensure his or her boss is happy. In the process of happiness, conflict will arise e.g. it will cause envy, unfairness, jealousy, etc.

In a materialistic world, there is full of "attraction" and "distraction." We are like living in delusion. In fact, we are. In the name of pursuit of happiness, new rules are set. It moves toward materialistic achievement. It is what can be seen or heard. They no longer place importance to moral decay or virtue, because it cannot be seen or touched. So it moves further away from "spiritual believe" to "materialistic believe."
As we move away from the nature, we actually move away from inner peace or elightenment or a pure state of mind Life is short. What we are borned with, accumulated during this life, we cannot bring it together when we go. In a blink, your life is over. So, coming back to the philosophy of life, what is the purpose of life? In pursuit of happiness? Nope, I believe there should be deeper than that. Give it a thought.
