"Do we even know what make us happy?" Dan Gilbert questioned. I thought I knew what would make me happy, but getting what we want we can't always be happy cause that happiness fades. Thinking getting the most expensive things on earth would make us the happiest but the feeling wouldn’t last forever. When I was little I loved watching cartoon shows I thought watching it would be the only thing that makes me happy. I would either wake up early in the morning to watch my favorite shows or stay up late at night. I used to get really mad at my parents for not letting me watch T.V. Sometimes I would get really upset buy it and at them. I also thought buying all the toys from my cartoons shows would satisfied me if I had collected all of them and placed it in my room. As I now grow older I realized watching cartoon shows, owning toys does not make me happy as I am right now. They are just things to satisfy your needs at that moment. Dan Gilbert is right you can’t say owning something could make you happy. We don't know what will make us happy because we can’t predict the future.
In relationships the one you most love would be the hardest to get over, thinking you would never be happy once they leave you. I had many friends who couldn’t get over their loved ones thinking their life wouldn’t be the same without them and they couldn’t live without them. Later on they all end up getting over it some how. Even if something bad happened to you, you can still find happiness some how from it. As Dan Gilbert study winning a lottery is just the same thing as loosing your job, because later on you’ll feel the same way. I once thought the first guy I went out with would make me happy I thought he would be the one who bring me joy every time I see him, and make me happy when I am down. When it didn’t work out between us, life after is still fine. Just like my friends, we all find things later on hoping what we find would just make us happy at that moment.
