after searching and studying all of this theory of happiness. what happens next? do we experience or encounter this after we die?
because in that case, we wont have much time to go through this once we're dead. the furthest we can go would be a 100. even so, death can come at any time.

happiness? is it by having all these material possession = cars,money,house,planes,boat,women ?
so therefore, if we dont have any of that, does that mean we wont be happy? Its just that we've been 'programmed' and told to believe that by having and consuming all of this that we will achieve "true" happiness. Yes, we see it everyday in the newspaper, television, internet, adverts and so on. Basically, we dont even know what we want.
You see, if one person can say, i dont need a luxurious house, a fancy car , a supermodel , or 10 million in the bank to be happy. What do you say to people like that? You would say "wow, youre missing a lot" or "Didnt you study finance in school?"
So, base on what TS have mentioned earlier, we tend to find "problems" or things to do to stimulate temporary happiness. Sports, activities, music, art, gaming, blogging, etc. What we dont realize that its just a substance. In fact, we do know lol. A "drug" to keep us moving forward.
So, what makes you happy? Which is your drug?
