MY LAST ENGLISH COMPOSITION. Judith D. (2n batx B)

My last composition: HAPPINESS

Happiness. Nice WORD. But ... What does it mean to be happy? Happiness is a fully satisfied mood. But, what implies getting to be satisfied with ourselves? This is an issue closely related to the person and their way of life. But now, as many have heard, we live in a globalized world, where including this own mood of maximum satisfaction is influenced by the neighbor.
Humans are greedy by nature. We always want what we don’t have; thus, the more we know, the more we learn; the more we have, the more we need; the more we discover, the more we investigate ... and this is one of the major advantages and disadvantages of our species. Because society evolves through this craving, but never satisfied. Not at all.
Happiness, satisfaction, joy ... not last long. As you reach the top you are happy: for the way, for the overcoming, for the experience, for the company and especially for the challenge succeeded; but after one month, two ... a year, comes another person and beyond us. Then, our satisfaction plummets. We aren’t as happy as before.
Because if we don’t have anything, a simple chickpea would be reason for happiness. But then, we see a person next to us with a stew, and we feel unhappy; invaded by a feeling of self-pity. Then, not knowing is better than knowing?, not having anything is better than having it all? Possibly. Because happiness is just that, a WORD. A nice word, yes, but also ephemeral, fleeting, selfish and envious.
Don’t leave it like that. A word so absolutely full of hope like this (happiness) cannot be that. Because happiness is momentary yes, but many happy moments means many memories and involves a great satisfaction for the life lived and illusion for what we have to walk.
