Can man truly find happiness?

Today I was thinking, what actually makes man fulfilled and happy, Is it money?... health?... love?... friend?..drugs?..what exactly could it be?. Is happiness something to strive for or be indifferent about.

As a young man who is still trying to find myself and on a race course in the pursuit of happiness at the long run with the belief of having a future filled with actualized dreams, I have been confused if there truly lies a key to happiness?....Can man ever be completely happy?...What are those things I need to focus on and channel all my youthful energy into?

I think I have found one aside building a successful career at the moment which is steemit, the experience has been amazing with astonishingly kind people met (You all know yourselves...thanks for being a blessing). Steemit has definitely been bliss since I swerved away from quite a number of social media platforms and at this point, there is no place I'll rather be.

Have seen different faces with everyone putting up a smile that conceals the different struggles and blows life has thrown, there is a parlance, the rich also cry, how true could that be?...But looking back and reflecting on life experiences and stories heard, it became rather obvious that just building a successful career and making money is never a guarantee of true happiness.

If you say friends, friends could snitch, betray and even do worse. With those, could it be logical to say having friends around is a guarantee of happiness? Having good health but being broke and in debt wih you finding it hard to even eat three square meals, could such be considered a happy life?, even with drugs (coke, marijuana, meth e.t.c) to get the perfect high in the times of sorrow with the aim of ascending cloud 9 or 10 as it may be, but after hours and the effect fizzles out with you snapping back to reality...you are back to where you left!...could that be classified as even a stint of happiness?

What then could be a guarantee of happiness?...those were the thoughts and questions that saturated my mind while working on this piece.
