Is Happiness is unreachable?

While I was reading the fifth chapter of Seize the Day, I Felt a connection with Tommy. I would dare to say that many of his problems lie on the fact that he feels lonely. Lonely because his father doesn't support him. Loneliness because he cant be with the one he loves. And loneliness because he feels that he doesn't form a part of humanity. Yet, we come to understand that he begins to feel 'connected' with people when he is on the subway station and feels part of some sort of "larger body".

The reason why he trusts in Tamkin is because he encourages him to become a part of the here and the now, and thus the people that live on it. He is his guide and supporter and that is why he relies on him. To be saved. Yet, I realize that there is a point in which Tommy will have to separate from him to begin doing things on his own. This will probably be a turning point in the story, or even so, the climax.

Anyways, I say that I felt a connection with him because although I have plenty, of friends, love, and 'control' over my life, I feel as if there was something missing. I am yet to find what it is and certainly hoping to find it because it seems as if you can never reach that utter point of happiness, or peace.

Freud said that happiness is an illusion and is unreachable and thus I question myself, will Tommy find that thing that he has been searching for? Will I find it too? Well, we just have to wait. Probably seize the day and who knows... We'll eventually get there.
