Happiness is not something you achieve by fullfilling some dream. What counts is the day-by-day, or "the journey"... once you get there, trust me, it will just feel pretty empty after perhaps a day or two of excitement, and you'll just have to find a new "dream". Just enjoy the little things. Difficult to quantify but I bet that watching a football match where your team wins (if you're a football fan, and obviously through no action of your own other than just sitting there watching) makes you feel much happier (for a few hours) than any dream you could fullfill by your actual actions. Doesn't make sense, but yeah, humans don't make sense a lot.
- urthor 4y agoI mean, I really really do enjoy coding. It's just so fun to do something where knowing stuff actually changes people's lives every day. I'll be happy along the way regardless I'd say.
- jstummbillig 4y agoI (mostly) agree – which makes the reply somewhat confusing. Am I missing the contradiction or did you maybe misread my comment?
- brabel 4y agoA comment doesnt' need to be a rebuttal. I was expanding on the topic.
