A Mere Conceptual Idea

Perhaps happiness is nothing greater than a mere conceptual idea. As humans, it simply exists within our nature to never fully be content, and if we do achieve true contentment, it remains in a fleeting moment. Maybe, all feeling is contained within the spectrum of suffering, for happiness could be defined as simply a lesser degree of suffering than the amount usually thrust upon us. If the amount of happiness we experience is still considered suffering, striving to attain happiness is a void goal. In the end, we all remain suffering, broken people, whether we consider ourselves to be happy or not.
