Happiness?

Yea, I know there can be more in the list.
Interesting how the list slowly moved toward "no", instead of naming the things that could make me happy, I began naming things that weren't making me happy.

Sometimes people can be easily caught up with the things that they are unhappy about, and wish that they've never had to deal with them.
So all throughout their lives, their life long goal is to find ways to avoid things that will make them unhappy.
They get so anal about avoiding the thorns of the roses,
that they forget to enjoy the smell of roses.
Life is no longer a pursuit to their happiness.
It becomes the quest to flee from unhappiness.
