Happiness is such a transient feeling. Most of us humans strive to attain permanence in happiness. They fail to realize that our mood is like the weather. Sometimes, it is cloudy, at other times it is sunny. Sometimes it rains. Sometimes it just is gloomy and dark. You can not expect the weather to remain the same through all times. It does and it should change.

We tend to lose sight of this fact. All our lives, we toil day and night, so we may achieve perfect and everlasting happiness. But we do not realize that there is just no such thing as perfect happiness. Life is a string of situations. Some situations tend to make us happy and some sad. That is as simple as that.

We must not forget the here and now. It is our current condition which we must tend to. We should cherish the small happinesses rather than gloomily wasting a lifetime for big things to happen. Small things such as smiling to someone and being smiled back at are enough to cause a momentary sense of happiness. We should avail ourselves fully of such occasions. Life is short, let us not waste it in waiting and worrying.
