Climb The Stairs Of Hope & Happiness

Everyone has their own dreams and hopes. Starting from the morning, afternoon until late at night, each person is busy because they want to complete a need that must be resolved and they also do something because of a desire that must be achieved. It is a way of life that we do every day and never stop until we die somewhere.

I think ancient humans did the same. But, they have different reasons and purposes. In ancient times, they lived only to find food as well as to survive from larger prey. It's just as simple as what they do. However, the risk of their lives is quite large because they can die at any time due to the savage laws of nature. Those are the old and extreme ways to achieve hope and happiness.

In an age like today where almost anything can be shaped, all needs can be met and everyone has different expectations, making us safe and comfortable enough to enjoy life than what happened hundreds to millions of years ago. Then, what else are people looking for? What kind of happiness are they looking for? Does feeling superior to other humans include human dreams? Basically from ancient times, humans really like to compete hunting about something.

Compared to ancient times, the competition and war in this era began with cyber warfare or there is a term where a keyboard warrior is willing to mock one group to another in pursuit of profit. Then, there are types of people who have a lot of money, media and public, they can control all the resources, politics even rule the world. Physical strength is no longer as relevant as in ancient times. Except, if you have the physical advantage to fight in the boxing or sumo ring. That's a competition, so whoever wins it is considered a big chance to get what they expect.

Despite the competition and war, still many of the people have only hope for peace and maintaining good relations between human beings. Usually, people who understand religion better, expect more inner peace as a solution to the complex problems that occur between humans. They hope that their goodness is an investment guaranteed by God. They have the principle that if they always do kindness, then God will give them eternal paradise and no one can exchange that happiness for anything. It is perfect happiness for people who are good and believe in their God.

On the other hand, most human beings today seek happiness with power in their brains. You need to know, that most humans use their brains cleanly to benefit themselves and others also feel the benefits. However, some of the other humans use their intelligent brains to harm others and to control other humans so that they are paralyzed. That's their cunning way to get happiness.

Clean brain methods are commonly used methods. Their brainpower is used (for example) to trade, to sell graphic design works that are marketable on marketplace sites, to repair damaged laptops. The method used really benefits both parties. From the customer's point of view, they are happy because they get services and goods that they expect. With the money that they earn, they hope to make a bigger investment or reward themselves for what they have accomplished, by taking a vacation to a place they love.

While brains with dirty plans say that other human beings should be weakened because they are enemies or nuisances that cause their business to fail. For example, they hack or break passwords against certain sites for profit, they perform hypnosis to hallucinate, weaken and rob the victim subtly and others. What they did was exemplary and very bad. They want happiness by taking the happiness of others or destroying the facilities of a site for personal gain.

On the other hand, the happiness that people display isn’t always the real thing. The hopes and happiness that have been highlighted by various public figures, TikTok users or selebgram have become biased. Happiness is also displayed as a form of self-actualization because they feel competitive with other TikTok users or other selegram. In the end, their life is actually not happy because they always feel jealous and lacking compared to others. Therefore, something like this sometimes gives rise to drama or a cold war between TikTok users or the selebgram involved.

Hopefully, with this article, everyone realizes that there is no perfect happiness because humans always feel lacking. The hope and happiness that you seek is something that is relative, temporary and cannot be eternal because humans will grow old and die. Never manipulate happiness with lies because in the end you will be disappointed. 

Be happy with honesty even though all your money and investments are still as small as ants. So, hard work based on honesty will not betray the results. In the end, happiness will follow you because God will try to repay your good intentions.
