True Happiness

When we say happiness that can be such a generic term it loses any meaning inside of it. Sometimes it overused on the level of the word love. The confusion and misunderstanding of the notion of happiness might make you fill not fulfilled, something must be missing, and you are looking for the missing piece. Lets make the distinction between happiness and excitement. They are two different things.
Usually people talk about excitement when they talk about “happiness”. Being happy is being fulfilled, calm and peaceful also you might describe it as mellow, very even keeled state of mind. You feel like everything is the way it supposes to be and you are in the moment. But when majority of people talk about happiness usually what people mean excitement. They might say you are happy when you have a dinner in the favorite restaurant. In reality this is stimulation you get from tasty food so this is a form of excitement. It’s not a crazy way of excitement , it’s not like sky diving. You don’t really get the adrenaline rushing through you veins but it’s still some kind of excitement. Generally we look for happiness in things that will stimulate and excite us. We are in search of stimulated relationship, we want to do stimulating things. So we imagine if we have more of exciting things then we would have more happiness. It’s no secret that our brain loves excitement, it likes variety, it likes to go out and look for the sources of stimulation. You can even compare it to shooting heroin that gives huge rush of excitement, but you also get the highs and then you get lows. This extreme comparison to shooting heroin is what happening when people constantly are looking for stimulation you just high and lows. This constant search of stimulation might prevent you from achieving happiness.
Genuine happiness is a feeling of peace, calm and contemptment. You are completely contempt with what is happening in the moment. You are not wondering about the future, past, you are not connected to any source of stimulation. You are just happy right now, you are happy as you are. You are not disturbed by anything particular, you can’t even imagine that anything could disturb you in this state. You might think of it as elimination of any suffering.
