HAPPINESS Is Not Realized

Almost everywhere in this world, there are the similar education system such as starting from preprimary school, primary school, secondary school and high school. The difference is only the length of study and curriculums. Some countries, studying in primary school takes time 5 and another 6 for instance.

If counting together, the length of study will be more than 10 years. On top of that, some cases and some people will study further to get master degree, doctoral degree. This will take another more year , 6-7 years.

So let say altogether from primary school until getting doctoral degree are 20 years. This shows us that we spend lots of time in our life to learn or study. Therefore, one of other critical questions is why we learn or for what we learn.

One may answer the question that we study because we need to have high knowledge, to get a good job, to get great salary, have financial security and be able to buy a nice house, a fancy car and so on. Another may say that we need knowledge to use for our survival, for better life, and for happy life. No matter what answer is, we can summarize that EVERYONE WISHES HAPPINESS.

One critical observation here is we want HAPPINESS, right? but we are looking for other things. In other words, we are not looking for HAPPINESS directly which in fact, it is our top wish that we want it. It should be our priority. But oppositely we are seeking for other things which they are not HAPPINESS such as we are looking for money for example. That’s why we only get money, not HAPPINESS.

On top of that, as mentioned earlier, we spend our life many years (10-20 years) to study but a very big surprise is schools don’t train us on HOW TO CREATE HAPPINESS or teach us WHAT IS HAPPINESS and HOW TO CREATE IT. In fact, this is our top wish. It is also as a top goal of our life. It should be a first priority THAT WE SHOULD LEARN AND KNOW IT.

Therefore, HAPPINESS should be a top priority of our life. We should learn about it and in order to create it and keep it with our life. Most importantly the education system should be changed and it should provide everyone with knowledge on HAPPINESS- what it is and how to create it more than other things. Finally this world will be full of PEACE and HAPPINESS.
