The Paradox of Happiness

There is a paradox to happiness, that the more we search for it and chase it, the more elusive it becomes. How do you think about managing expectations in your life? There isn't really a single kind of trick to managing expectation - it plays out differently in different cases. The right attitude to immortality is like firing lazer beams from your eyes or being able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. That would be an amazing super power to have, but i shouldn't feel aggrievedht I don't have super powers. And that's how i should feel about not being immortal, as it's just another super power i don't have.
