Does anyone actually believe in happiness?

Most of the time i feel as if there is no such thing. Not in the permanent way anyways. We catch glimpses of it here and there, and then people just mesh those ideas all together in hopes that one day they will experience it long enough to hold on to it just a little while. To look it in the eye and say “aha! You’re mine.” So they can then proceed to tell other people, who intern do the same thing, and everyone is stuck in this misleading vicious cycle in the pursuit of something that is truly unobtainable.

Am I completely off? Please say i am. I need something to strive towards.
