16.Happiness,true happiness,isn't an achievement or something you can buy.It isn't even the experience of falling in love or getting a second chance.The pleasure you can get from such things is wonderful,but it's not true happiness because such pleasures are brief.Storybooks and movies have given us the lie that all you need to do is accomplish the goal,and you'll live happily ever after.But"ever after"from such endings isn't actually forever.Imagine that you are in the ocean floating along with the current.You rise up to the top of one wave and sink down into the wave's bottom as it passes by.Bigger waves can take you higher,but they can also hit you down harder and may even cause you to drown.You may be able to surf those bigger waves,allowing you to stay higher for longer periods of time,but evetually they too break and crash down onto the beach,and you will be left again in a low.Eventually you must go out to find another wave to achieve that pleasurable high again,so we continue a cycle of highs and lows.It may seem that the best way to avoid the sinking beween waves is to simply avoid the waves at all,but that may not be the best idea either.
Happiness isn't absolute rest either.Instead of an ocean,now imagine yourself in a waveless pool without any current at all.It may be quiet and peaceful,but sitting in a pool of water isn't something many of us would want to do for long.Eventaully,we would become bored,Our bodies are constantly going through cycles,ups and down,as they attempt to achieve a state of balance.In a way,these cycles are what drive us to live.
