It takes you lifetime to understand that being number one in school, getting that top job and getting married and having kids is not the happiness.
Some of the times life tells you that it's more or less a chase.
Some people need that chase in life to make meaning of events that happen around them. And that means that being strong is a process that requires those events.

People who get married and have everything they want often feel incomeplete because they didn't had the peace while chasing things.
People who reamined single get the peace they want in life but they tend to feel something missing as the life kind of tells them that it's required.
Do you need to be always right? Not really.
Do you need to get that fancy job at the expense of peace? Not really.
Do you need marriage? Maybe.
Do you need kids? Maybe.
You don't know Unless You Experience It
You have to understand that you don't know a lot of things in life. And you have to experience many things in life in order to feel the happiness. And also that means you have to feel that pain in your life.
Unless you get married, you won't understand pain of marriage and pain of kids. You experience it and even miss some of the things but both cases the experience would be different.
You never understand what makes you Happy
People think they are happy but in reality that is not the case. You think you are happy but in reality that is not the happiness. It's kind of like moving from one location to another. And then another.
Till the end of the life we don't know what we want and where we are going. Even if you do know and understand what, how and where you go and do stuff yet you feel like you have not achieved anything.
But is it necessary to achieve anything to be happy?
No.
I totally agree with you when you said
Until you experience it, then you would know.
Indeed! Achieving doesn't equate happiness.
Often times, once you achieve a thing, the race to get something else begins.
And truly, we can only understand a particular thing when we've experienced it firsthand.
Thank you for sharing.
to me, happiness can be in the little things we enjoy doing in our every days, and the achievements we do get to accomplish along the way is the satisfaction of having a sort of cherry on top of the frosting ☺️ thank you for sharing your insightful perspective about this!
