Our deep-rooted desire for happiness, coupled with the ceaseless challenge of attaining it, remains a constant companion in our journey of life. Anna Maria Jopek, an accomplished Polish songwriter and producer born in 1970, eloquently expressed this sentiment in one of her songs: ‘The more you want, the more you have. You chase mirages, reaching for the stars, yet it’s elusive, always just out of reach. We perennially sense an absence in our quest for happiness; an insatiable void.’ Two decades since the song’s release, our approach to happiness remains unchanged. So how to find it? Is it achievable at all and, if so, how to describe it? Delving into the thoughts of philosophers on this matter may offer much insight for the modern individual.
