The High Of Happiness

While the rest of the world is busy with their external affairs, working their butt off to earn more Money or spending their Time Socialising. I am left with an Interesting question: To Attain Happiness, of which the easiest way I find is to get a High, not alone but with the best of my buddies.

Every time, there is a tremendous secretion of Dopamine which makes me happier than those who seek happiness in this utter Materialistic World, buying things they dont even need or buttering people who pull off the Ethical part in you. I am not boasting myself about the quality Friends and Siblings I have, but it is about the Expression of that Ultimate Truth which has become an absolute Cliché. If you know what I mean.

Although, I may not have a specific topic in my mind to write an article, well if u want to read that kind of stuff read The Hindu and The Economist with such prominent "The" standards of greatness. But as of now I am left with a very unusual, publicly unacceptable question in my mind which is -
Is getting High in any form equivalent to Meditation ?

There is a fine possibility that just after asking this question, some of you might realise that "This guy doesn't know what Meditation is at all" or may be I know something you don't. The facts that I've realised over the years of experiencing (a proud owner of a single prominent grey hair) is that anything that gives you Happiness Meditation.

With the emerging questions in mind that what Happiness is exactly about, we can go on researching, reading spiritual books etc; which gives us a great thought to memorise and show off our Intellectual skills in front of everyone. Its only with time that you realise the clichéd part of it that, Self Realisation is a very long process and -Knowing Something and Understanding Something are two very different things. Which should not be confused with either greying of hairs or natural ageing.

So now that my Dopamine levels go down over the week, I am left with another question: Whether I have fallen into a Vicious Cycle of Addictions living a life of practicality or Am I at a higher understanding of Darwin's theory of Survival of The Fittest. But the only thing that drags me again into the cycle is the Pursuit of the Ultimate High thereby secreting more and more Serotonin in my body.

As the urge for Happiness increases I am left with another question: Can we double our happiness by meditating when we are happy ? i.e. Meditating when we are High. Although I have never experienced such things, but theoretically it seems a mind boggling concept which I seek to achieve soon.

Being a Typical "Type A" personality, I would keep on getting such thoughts but the point is 
Have you found your Happiness ?

The only thing that makes me happy is the one thing I never find.
