Question

Why do we feel a constant need to seek happiness in our lives?
Having just answered another recently posted question quotWhat is the meaning of life?quot or similar with the simple solution that the meaning of life is essentially to seek happiness, we found ourselves asking the somewhat deeper question, quotWhy the constant need to seek this happiness?quot

Answer

Think perhaps happiness is sometimes mistaken for contentment .......or perhaps we settle for contentment as we get older...... Think true happiness is being content ........
