Happiness

When we feel happy about something we just start to think that this is the beginning of a pleasure that will increase with the course of time and last for an indefinite period. So we start waiting. But alas! We are wrong most of the time. Because in almost every case, the happiness that we feel is allotted to us exclusively for that moment and that is the apex of joy rather than just a beginning. In this way of misjudging we actually fail to extract the pleasure assigned even for that very moment, let alone a long lasting happiness! I am not so sure whether others will agree with me in saying that, happiness as we feel practically resides in our memory because of the transient nature of time. We get only a fraction of the total feelings in the form of present and a rather broad spectrum of it dwells in our mind that replenishes us with a slightly different type of happiness unceasingly.
