Have you lost your keys lately? Eternal search for happiness
I have lost my keys. Yet again for the 100th time. It seems the keys are the most lost item from all the household. It has happened so much If we calculate millions of human hours may have been lost looking for the keys. So, that even there are solutions for never to lose an item, I attached a piece of GPS gadget, with a tracking app. Nowadays, Air tags can be attached to any item you need to find out from your car to your partner. However, If I tell you there are many important items that you have been looking for, which cannot be tagged, but loses so often, you will not agree with me. Hence, I will write about it.
Since we were born, since young age we have been searching for happiness. The pursuit of happiness. Whenever we got a craving, we were looking for things to quench our thirst. Some of us took the easy road, without worrying too much about a future. Took the lazy path, settled in a job, and be happy with a piece of bread and beer. Some of us could not settle for simplicity. So, we took a path, which is longer and tedious. To tackle down 10000 hours to the mastery. And once one skill mastered, we could not step their either. We had to take a long journey of saving and investing, to Grow money, into a crypto emperor. Yet like a mirage, it always flees away. Happiness always seems to flee.
Happiness stories, coins, cushions and cocaine
Look at the wealthiest, the Elite and top cream of our society. Devorce rates of Hollywood is 40-50% And it seems the people who are always smiling, and travelling in luxury cars, seems to be unsatisfied with one partner. It cannot be a problem with education or intelligence. As they also represent a similar cohort of our society. Once I saw a couple who went to the bakery. They had few coins with them. After buying the breakfast to their child, after he ran away to the school, they counted their coins. And they could afford a single bun with the remaining money. And they did, and happily shared the bun with each other. Wow ! I thought. That is rare. How come one person find happiness in such places with so much little coins? I am sure, a good night sleep would be a luxury to every celebrity, unless they are not humble to give it a thought, that happiness does not come from the cushions or cocaine.
Sounds familiar? Occasionally I see an artist being brutally honest about the life.

I took a pill in Ibiza
To show Avicii I was cool
And when I finally got sober, felt 10 years older
But fuck it, it was something to do
I'm living out in LA
I drive a sports car just to prove
I'm a real big baller cause I made a million dollars
And I spend it on girls and shoes
But you don't wanna be high like me
Never really knowing why like me
You don't ever wanna step off that roller coaster and be all alone

To end the eternal search for happiness.
I have been in the battle myself. Just like a kid collecting candy on a mat. And I got tired. I have got tired so much, that I was watching a film after film, song after song, to the crazy mind feeding what it asks for. And luckily, I heard about mindfulness. A path to wisdom about the comedy and tragedy of life. To rise above and look into the absurdity of the life. To understand the perpetual wheel which spins around and around, like the punishment of Sisyphus. So, that I could understand the relative nature of the so-called happiness. And once I step into the roller Coster of mindfulness, it started to flow, into an automatic mode. And it seems, understanding the happiness with wisdom, will really put a full stop to the eternal search for it. Long before life is stolen away by nature.
So, I invite you to listen to a mindful song today, to end the eternal search for happiness or lost keys forever.
