Temporary happiness vs. Permanent happiness

We end up getting in life temporary happiness when we do something good for our own self or for others, gain reputation or gain worldly assets. But as we grow further in life, our life parameter changes and what was making us happy yesterday may not mean much to us today. This is due to transient nature of our mind and more so the happiness that we got is actually a recognition of the act that made us happy.

As we grow more into understanding happiness, we realize that true happiness comes when an act is done for the betterment of human kind in any shape and form without any expectation in return. Then whenever we think of such act, we feel happy and it is permanent in nature as it was done as a service for others. This act gives us permanent happiness.
