Happiness - Luck - Luxury

Everyone search for luck and happiness in life. Most people also search for luxury. I've been wondering what happiness, luxury and luck is for almost 15 years. Is it when we have someone to love, a partner, or is it when we can spend £200 on a shopping day, or is it to be healthy and safe and have a normal paid job and a family to come home to? I don't know, but what I do know, is that there are different states of luxury, happiness and luck. I have a good example for you that happened to me earlier this evening.

Me and my father were walking in the forest by noon, the sun was shining trough the trees and we walked on a trampled, small pathway with the rushing creek beside it. The moss were growing old and large deep in the forest and the air was damp, as right after the rain had passed. The whole forest acted a bit magical that evening, the water-drops rested on the leafs on the trees sparkling in the sun. We saw a few blueberries growing on a small bush. I picked four of them and chewed on them, they tasted amazing. Just like late-summer-berries should taste like, sweet and sour, yet not too sour or too sweet, just perfect. Dad later saw a few cloud berries he picked some and ate them, so did I with the orange fluffy berries. A piece of heaven, maybe that's why they are called cloud berries? Dad started talking as we began to walk again.

- "It's growing a lot of berries this autumn, I hope they will continue to grow", he said.

- "Yeah, that would be great! Blueberries taste so good...", I answered his saying.

I kept talking as he didn't say anything.

- "What do you think luxury is, dad?"

- "Well, it's different things" He answered.

- "Name three of them"

- "I think going on vacation with my family is pure luxury, being able to sleep late in the morning and this."

- "This?"

- "Yes, dear, walking around in the nature finding what the nature has to offer, berries, mushrooms, animals and the beauty of the forest, that, and being able to spend time with my only daughter is luxury as well."

Dad made me think of things in life, why had he decided to marry my mother, have two children, a home, a Mercedes, then divorce my mother, and then build a house of his own? Or didn't he choose these things? Was it just happening without no reasons, did he ever find happiness and luck and even luxury in these things. At some points I think he did, most of the time actually. 

What do we really want in life as we may choose? There are so many options for us humans today. But if you choose the wrong option you can and will get in lots of trouble, if you think you choose the right option, but then it turned out to be all wrong, what is it worth then? 

Is luxury something we need, or just something we want, the same with happiness and luck, do we need that stuff or do we just want it? Happiness, luck and luxury are things we are aware of that they exist, and we know people who has it, or at least it seems so. But what is happiness, luck and luxury to you?
