What about happiness is important?

Happiness isn't something that you can wake up and go out and get. Happiness is the state of well-being and contentment. According to Hamblin, "happiness is an active process (para. 1)." He means that happiness is something that you have to work for and it is not granted to you; having to take steps to achieve happiness. This can be a reason why many people are not happy because of how much work it takes to actually be considered as happy. Happiness isn't something that is offered at a store or online; meaning you can't buy or steal it, you have to work for it. According to Hamblin, working too hard to get happiness, will result in obsessing over you own state of mind. So basically, if you work too hard to get happiness, you would lose your mind or you will go crazy, and if you don't work for it at all, you will not get it. We see a complicated relationship on how someone can actually become happy. The conclusion is that there is not specific way of gaining happiness. Hamblin said when it comes to love, if you have to question it, then the answer is no. what he means by this, is if you have to question whether or not that you are happy, then the answer is no; you shouldn't have to question your happiness, you should already know. If you are lazy and is not willing to grasp your happiness or find it within yourself, then you will never have happiness in your life. This ties back to the main claim because money plays a part in happiness, but not in finding happiness. If you are rich and really feel that you can buy your happiness, then you should rethink how you are living because if happiness isn't sold or stolen, then what is money going to do for your happiness?
