The idea of pure bliss

How is happiness defined? Is it something to do with the joy of doing things that we like? What if it can be controlled! If you ever walk into the mall, you'll notice it. Most such shopping places are filled to the brim with stuff. Clothes, food items, consumer durables, toys,etc. The arrangement makes us unhappy unless we buy them. Sometimes for no good reason. More of something so arranged makes a compulsive behaviour of things seeking attention. So, there it is. Our emotions were made to suit us. You would either feel sad on not having any of those items inside your home or would feel very sad on not having enough to buy enough of them! What if our emotions could get controlled? Like having a pill to feel happy, to have an energy drink to feel like in love, to make oneself feel sad...I guess not. Maybe such stuff is already in the market. But happiness can't be derived from such things. After the initial high from any substance, we would also feel the depths of depression. Happiness is one of mankinds way of comparing between good and bad,ugly and beautiful. We only become happy when comparing one thing to the other, oneself to someone or comparing a situation to another. When the comapring stops, bliss starts. That to me is enlightenment. Once enlightened....you are too small for comparision and too big to be ignored....keep at it...thinking
