Elusive Happiness

Question: Why is happiness so elusive in life?

Answer: Happiness is elusive because it is not something that comes by itself, we can’t become happy instinctively. Thus when we try reaching happiness through the usual actions, intentions that come to us naturally – instinctively trying to make ourselves happy at all cost – happiness escapes us, gets further with every attempt.

This is why our generation is most unhappy, empty and depressed in history despite seemingly having everything we need in abundance.

True happiness is something we need to learn how to achieve, how to “build” in between us. True happiness is a unique, positive, collective emotional impression that comes as a result of building altruistic, mutually supportive and mutually fulfilling relationships, where each person only cares about supporting, serving the others, sensing and fulfilling their desires unconditionally.

True happiness comes as a result of implementing in practice the principle of “Love your neighbor as yourself” which in fact means “loving the other more than oneself”.

Since this is completely against our inherently selfish, egoistic and subjective nature, we need a special, purposeful, educational method, and the right “laboratory” conditions – right environment – in order to succeed.
