On The Theory Of Happiness

Happiness is much sought yet clearly never found, if all of the books on the subject sold in stores are any testament. People are clearly searching, hoping for that last ingredient to add to their lives but nothing they find, in books, or possessions, or pep talks from their parents seems to be that finishing touch. There is an aura of deep discontent hanging over the heads of almost everybody one meets....why? Why is it that simply being free - free to breathe, to learn, to feel is not enough for us?
