The pursuit of happyness

One of the hardest classes I took in college was philosophy. It was such an almighty struggle to pull a C there. The first day, the professor asked what people wanted most from life. Houses, cars, money, relationships all came up. He said we were on the right path, but not quite there. We're all looking for happiness. We just want to be happy. And all the things we do are in pursuit of that. We chase the material goods thinking they will give us the happiness we seek. The material comes and goes. The happiness we seek, and have, within ourselves, stays. That should be the quest. Not the hot new iPhone.
