Why do we obsess over happiness so much? I mean it's a state of mind - comes and goes - why does it have to be permanent?
Consciousness is indeed impossible to explain, but realizing this helps with absolutely nothing.

We have nothing to do here apart from nonsensical finite activities. We buy food in order to maintain an organism which will be annihilated by time anyways.

We buy all this expensive stuff in order to fulfill an ego based on social norms deeply impregnated in our subconsciousness, which cannot stand the real boredom of life, which cannot stand the truth, the pointlessness of life.

We can't tolerate the truth, because we know everything is futile. We create attachments and we develop finite things (technology, food, etc) because we are weak, because we found ourselves here against our wish and we are scared, we want to fool ourselves that everything is fine and normal, but if we only think purely, it is clear that life is senseless and time, space, infinity transcend our power.
On that note; hope you have a wonderful week ahead! Lol!
