Happiness is like a toy you want to play with all the time. If you play with it too much, you might forget about other fun things like drawing or playing hide and seek. Sometimes people think happiness is the goal of life, but maybe life has more parts than just being happy. Think of it as a puzzle, happiness is one piece, but there are many others.
Examples
- A child is excited when they get a new toy, but becomes sad when it breaks after one day.
- Someone tries to be happy all the time, but ends up feeling empty at night.
- You laugh with your friends, and that makes you feel happy even if nothing else changes.
