Strange economy of happiness

There are so many self help books, videos, workshops on happiness. Everyone wants to be happy. Happiness is a commodity that value appreciate when demand of it is desperately increasing. There are endless book titles claim to help one teach lessons on happiness. People are paying expensive wprkshops to be happy. Retailers are spending big bucks on campaign to "sell" happiness. Think BMW's Joy campaign, Coca cola's joy factory ads. Price tags for happiness is sky rocketing. But there is another side to the economy of happiness that works in a strange way. The demand of it only increases the price tag of it, but not the supply of it. At least not in a sustainable way. Simply because no one can really supply us happiness except for ourselves. We can fulfill our desire by paying for those price tags. But it's a short moment of thrill more than happiness. I am sorry if this burst your bubble of hope. Good news is you don't have to wait for the market to distribute happiness stocks for you. You have all the power to create happiness and enjoy in whichever ways you wish. Breathe the air in bliss, feel your senses interacting with the world, enjoy the freedom of imagination. Sustainable happiness is a conscious choice. One more good news is that unlike other commodity where scarcity would result in ugly hoarding of it and ridiculous pricing, happiness will never be depleted, there is an abundance of it if you allow it to grow through gratitude, appreciation and love. And even better, the more you give, the more happiness you grow in you!
