Quest for happiness in the miser, contemporary world

Be ready to imagine and change your " scenery" when asked for... but first read this lame joke. Speaker one- Why a tie should be tied tight? Speaker two- I don't know. You tell? Speaker one- Because it cannot be loosely tied. © Ayush Singh I hope you get it;) Now, imagine that you're watching a stand-up show with a friend who's keenly interested in comedy ( like Michael Scott from ' The Office'). Let's say that there's one point, when you're trying hard to understand the jokes and you're laughing without any reason. There are chances that you may laugh not only because the jokes are funny, but also due to your friend,who was understanding and his laugh was the high-pitched in the event. What leads him to be like that? Or, Was that person's laughter was even true? Were they even jokes?( No offence to the comedians) You might be one of those person who can do anything to fully use the invested money. So, if that person in the story is you, then you would likely take your friend's help to laugh- to get most out of it! Help, here doesn't means that you'll ask your friend to giggle you, right? I think that we, in our everday life, takes the help of secondary things to have a perspective of the " primary things". For instance, if I want to understand a piece of literature critically, then for that I'll seek for its historical context first.

Read the following definition: "Happiness is an emotional state characterized by feelings of joy, satisfaction, contentment, and fulfillment."( verywellmind.com) ( I said read)

Let's analyse it in depth. We know that happiness is an emotion. It's also true that an emotion can be manipulated and also, an emotion can manipulate YOU too. It is all a mere game of treating, like, how you experience that particular feeling... or how good is its connection with your past or even, whether that feeling shook your soul, that you are crying under your blanket,and trying to get comfort from holding your pillow while you are thinking it as your dear one's hand. ( you are taking the help of secondary stuff to understand the perspective) Back to the definition. With being an 'emotional state' the happiness comes with some of the short term stuffs too which I will convey, how, with a sentence: A person felt joyful, with a proper satisfaction as he gained some contentment along with fulfilled desire.

Now the question arises: What's after we are done with these experiences? One may say that, we would be back to our former emotions... while the other person may argue that, since we can manipulate emotions, we can make them stay for longer period. Now, I ask to the second one: what's after that? Like, there's an end to everything at the end. You are never gonna experience again, until something funny stuck your grey cells again. Don't think that I am misleading you here.
