are we just a machine that's programmed to go after happiness?
what is happiness? is it biochemical? ie it all depends on triggering a certain process in the brain, like hunger like anger.....
or metaphysical? that's something more then biochemical, like what some religions propose, in a state of peacefulness....
if it's the former, then, there's many short-cuts to attaining happiness, like what the drug addicts are doing. but if it's the latter, then it's not happiness we are after, but rather peacefulness.
what's peacefulness then?
could it that, peacefulness is the state where one sees through what's going around him, in the past and future, and takes things easy as they come because he's prepared for them?
the question is, if he can see thru things, knowing past and future, the naked truth of the nature of things, what's the motivation for living then?
so the basic question is - to live or not?
