June 22, 2017 : Searching for Happiness
© 安岡喜晴 (JoyShine)
I skipped the group meeting today, since I was scheduled to see hundreds of patients and was pretty sure I would be too worn out to attend.
Just as I thought, the task was hard, and when it was finally done I felt I couldn't be happier, but it wasn't long before I returned to my ordinary self, still looking for a happiness that looks much happier than the one I have now.
Why? Why do we always chase after things that look happier than what we already have?
Probably the answer is that our first instinct is to avoid pain.
