The Specifics of Happiness

I believe before i wrote as previous great philosophers did that happiness is a multi-dimensional trait and the only quest worthy for the sake of itself.

As such finances, social and private relationships, possessions, achievements, success etc etc all constitute happiness in totality. With one of the total missing we are not 'truly' happy.

This being said the human bellow of "I want to be happy" is at best wishful thinking.
Why? Because if we have established that happiness is multi-functional, when you view it single entity you neglect the specific ingredients that make the recipe and subsequent delightful dish.

It is often said that if you aim at nothing you are sure to hit it... (i believe this is easy to see in context of midevil times and archery) hmmn deja vu... like when you are young trying to throw paper in a water paper basket only to hit the gorund and your retort to missing the basket was well i was successful in hitting the ground. Shoot!

So let's get specific with this life, tell it exactly what we want - rather demand exactly what we want and get it! Rather than adopt vague cliches of society no doubt popular due to the vision of oppressors.
