Possibly because chasing momentary happiness is a fools errand, and I would agree, this is a lie sold to everyone.I envy you--Because you desire to jump.
That's the "dark side" of this game: When they come easy and ALL want LTRs with you--they hold zero value in your desire hierarchy. And in turn, you hold Zero appreciation for them--regardless of how old they are, what they look like, and how many hoops they are willing to jump through to see you. Once you reach the top of this "game," there is nothing left for you here.
Out shouts a man who screams, "Well then pursue your purpose." Well that purpose has been achieved as well to the same degree.
Out shouts the same man,"Well pursue a bigger purpose." Well, don't you see what's going on here? You're chasing purposes that you will eventually achieve thinking that the pursuit of the purpose and its attainment will ultimately bring you happiness. But happiness is not achieved in chasing your purpose: not while you are striving to get there AND certainly not while you are ALREADY there. See the irony?
I was being sarcastic when I stated I envy you. I don't. Why? Because true Happiness is not found in pursuing that 25 yo whomever, getting her, achieving your purpose, or even achieving your next purpose, after achieving all which preceded. That's the greatest illusion sold to mankind. Happiness is achieved right here, right now ... in this moment--for no tangible reason at all other than that you Appreciate yourself, who you are, your surroundings. You Appreciate and thus Celebrate your life.
Happiness can exist simply as a celebration of Self--and all that encompasses the Self's perception of reality. Until you and others begin to truly understand this on a meta-level, you will continue chasing women and purposes for happiness that will ultimately leave you less fulfilled than before it was attained.
This lambo will make you happy.
The hot 25yo will make you happy.
The big house will make you happy.
What do you need for those, the pursuit of your purpose. But what is a purpose without meaning? Why does finishing a big project, or conquering a woman, or even watching your kids act on their own in a way you've taught feel good. Is it happiness you feel? Maybe, maybe not... It is the accomplishment of something beyond yourself.
Chasing women is not beyond yourself; nor is money, material goods, or momentary lapses of happy feelings. We are consumed and bombarded with feeling happy, but none of it has any meaning. But don't tell that to anyone trying to sell you something; or anyone who runs in circles; or anyone who ascends the spiral staircase of success... because they all lead to nothing.
This nothing will certainly make you happy though, at least temporarily...
