Y’know. Everyone wants to be happy.

Everyone. Including you.

Once you figure this out, there’s a lot more you can learn. Like why some people act like they don’t care about anything. Why people will face their problems head on, or why they’ll run away as fast as they can to avoid them.

We’re simple creatures, ultimately, all with similar goals, similar needs, and similar desires. We just express it differently sometimes. Even the people who seem to hate everything, really want nothing more than to be happy.

Some think money will make them happy. Others think it’s fame, or popularity, or some other meaningless goal. Some find what they’re looking for, some don’t. But we never stop looking, because we know things  can always be better than they are. We can always be better.

Some don’t think they can find their happiness, and they’ll give up searching. Some even give up on life, hoping for peaceful nothingness instead. Sometimes, we can’t see how anything at all could make us happy any more. When all seems lost. But when you think you can’t sink any lower, remember this: You have solid ground beneath your feet. You can only go up from here, unless you stay there, wallowing and alone.

People want to be happy. If you help them, chances are, they’ll help you.
