Human relationships

Is there anything more difficult to understand than human relationships? Why do we feel so attracted to some people and so distant from another? One ight say that it has something to do with sharing the same interests and being almost a soul matte. But how many of us love to spend time with someone who apparently has nothing to do with us? No shared interests nor expectations of any kind. Ultimately we love to be in love and to be loved. We like the way the others look at us when they are in love with us. They see us the way we would like to be: flawless, perfect. Or at least almost perfect...

Happiness: that mystery

Does anyone know exactly what to look for to be happy? I mean, really happy? Is it money we need to have in order to feel good? Or is it love, or a great job or even being a world celebrity? Is it any one of these things or all of them?

I know so many people who have so much money and even those are not all happy. And how many celebrities do we know that live miserable lives, feel so lonely or kill themselves for no apparent reason?

Where does happiness lie indeed? Is it omething outside ourselves? Or is it a state of bliss we create in our mind? What do we need to experience that emotion? And for how long  can we expect it to last when we are lucky enough to find it? Is itpossible to really live happily hereafter? Or we can only experience it for some brief moments each time? Maybe we are so distracted that we do not identify it when it crosses our way. Or we are so demanding that we have built so high expectations that can never be matched.

I know there are some people who try do find happiness in the arms of another human being, but after some time they realize that their happiness does not lie in there either. They are back to square one. Some people give up of looking for it, others start all over again wishing for brighter days. I believe that for the most part of the people happiness is someting ethereal and occasional, that only lets herself to be seen for brief instants. Those are the lucky ones.
