We are different but we want the same thing in the end but that same thing is different meaning to different people.

However, at its core, happiness is a feeling of contentment, satisfaction, and joy that one experiences in life. Happiness is not a destination but a journey, and it can be cultivated through?intentional actions?and habits. Since it is a feeling, it never last and suffering start to arise when the feeling of happiness is finished and sadness start to kick in. We can reduce suffering when we start accepting that whatever born have to die and it the true nature of it. When we accept thing as it is normal process of life cycle, we tend to suffer less.

The feeling of joy by giving is much more satisfying than getting.
