I'm starting to believe that the temporary happiness we achieve is tied to inner Archetypes that exist within us. Fulfilling the archetype brings a joy with each milestone achieved. We can see it in movies, where people achieve some happiness when accomplishing some goal. The guy gets the girl... The couple have a baby... The warrior comes out victorious...
Though my question is "What's next?" after something is achieved. Is there a progression to a new role? Do some roles require reinvention? Are some roles more fulfilling long-term than others?
And it leads me to the question of meaning and meaninglessness. Is meaning achieved by playing the roles? Do we lose meaning when we don't know or can't fulfill our own roles? What about times of transition? Is there lost meaning during that time, goading us into finding new roles?
