The Daily Chores of Life

As i was trying to make my way to office wading through the busy bangalore traffic, a sudden sense of melancholy swept me. I was wondering if this is what i will keep doing for best part of my life. Is this what is left of me. Am i really enjoying life as i should.
Are all these thoughts a begining of what you would like to term 'Mid Life Crisis' . I dont know if I have the answer right now.
Maybe happiness is inside you. You can be as happy as you want yourself to be. No matter where you live, you can create happiness by being happy from inside.
But we human beings are the so called 'social animals' . We derive pleasure from our environment, from whom we meent. Does not that proove that we are conditioned by our society and it's workings. I dont know how i can balance these contrasting thoughts and strike a balance between the two. I think i need to but i dont know when.
Can I be happy if I eschew my daily responsibilities and take refuge in a secluded place far away from human contact. I dont know. If i am so unhappy with the society and the way it works, then surely i should be at home far away from civilization all to myself. The answer can be yes and no.
I am closing this post as I dont know what more to add..

I agree that life is confusing. You hardly know why you are here. And being happy internally is something which I cant understand. If your beloved person is in distress, how can you be happy internally...

Somehow I feel all the thoughts we have are somehow conditioned and sometimes we suddenly reach a point where we find it too cliched and repetitive... somes we find ourselves clueless... the worst part is that we stay that way all the time
