I want a more truthful view.

Is that something acceptable to yearn for? It seems like many people consistently want what they do not have, and then when they get it they are not quite satisfied. After they figure out that they are actually not satisfied, they drop that very thing they thought would make them so happy for something else. What is the meaning of this supposed happiness cycle?
I think it is sufficiently apparent to say that this is not the answer. It is not the purpose in one's life to continually seek for things that might make them content, at least on such a basis as things that are bought and can be owned. There is a saying something similar to "If you cannot be happy without it then you will not be happy with it." I think this is applicable to everything but pure intentions of yearning for the truth, truth being what really matters/counts etc. Without a clean desire for what is right then one cannot attain true happiness. I think we have all had things that we have wanted and were very excited to get as well as things that we have had and thought we were happy. Isn't it almost like our anticipation had grown so much that when he had finally reached what we had been reaching for, but then found it to be a disappointment? Yes, some things do appear to make one happy, but thousands of these come and go throughout our lives giving us our ups and downs. Isn't such a foundation unsteady and spurious?
This is why, though some of us have heard it time and time again, that true happiness is found through the truth. What things really make us happy? The video games or sports themselves that we play or the memories we make with others while we participate? It is actually through the joy of others where one finds joy that lasts forever. Fun activities that seem appealing themselves are simply catalysts with which people produce friendships and peace. When one is mistaken and thinks it is the activity itself that makes them happy they may become selfish and/or appear to be enjoying themselves. Though I will not go into it too much further, this is where pride may originate: When someone is selfish enough to think winning and being better than others is what is important instead of everything that leads up to the end.
Are memories of associating with others through positive environments as easily forgotten as the trivial activities in which we indulge ourselves? No, because this shows that these indulgences' respective places in a more grand perspective are in a place of little significance. Therefore truth and happiness does not lie in activities and materials which are, in the end, covetous anticipations, but in acts that are, in the end, indeed selfless.
