While seeking happiness sounds like a noble, albeit an abstract pursuit, not many are able to find it. People spend years looking for happiness, but fail to achieve anything even remotely resembling happiness caught in the enslaving routine of their lives. The noise, the strife, the daily grind, the race for things, tangible and intangible, leave people drained with no happiness in sight.
