Theory of happiness

Theory of happiness
Theory of happiness is very complex, even class toppers will find it difficult to understand. But backbenchers are very good at explaining it. If a test is kept on that subject (only happens in parallel world), real life backbenchers would be class toppers and class toppers would be backbenchers.
So (in my opinion) the theory of happiness goes as this. Happiness is just like days of the week. Monday to Friday are the worst days of the week where everyone must work hard day and night just to relax or (if they are happiness) enjoy during the weekends. Just like that most of the time in our life is basically hard work and sadness, we can find the cure for it by watching the device you are having in your hand and reading me now and many other things too, just like the evenings you get free time, but somewhere in your mind you know that its not permanent cure, tomorrow is another work day. c
Finally, after the hard work you get your days off. God gifted you two days off for your 5 days hard work. But 99% people in the world can only enjoy 1 day. Only half your moment of happiness, cause while enjoying your 2 half (2-day) of happiness only half of your mind will be enjoying or trying to enjoy with you the rest half will act as a reminder and will remind you next day you are off to work and have to work of 5 days just to get the day you are enjoying (or half-enjoying) now.
Life is not fair. You are too young to retire, too poor to quit job, too scared to invest all your savings and earnings, so just close your eyes and pray or believe for a moment, “One day, one day you can retire from job or from life and you will get peace and become stress free from all your worries, sorrows, thoughts, comments and judging expressions”. ?

You see, my dear, you wrote more of a raw philosophy "theory" rather then a poetic literate story.

This story pretty much tells it like it is! The only thing I can add is that with most of us living longer, the retirement part can make it all seem worth it, provided we did that hard work back then and saved part of it.
