Happiness. A thing we all crave. A dream we all dream, but few possess it in the today's world of materialism and selfishness. Where one desires peace for only oneself, when we have forgotten the meaning of selflessness, humility and humanity. We so much want to get happy that we are ready to snatch it from others. We try to buy it, we try to force it and we try to steal it, only to realize that it does not work this way. What is happiness and where is the source you can get it from?
It is inside you and within your reach.
Though hidden, its within us all the time. We are born to be happy. Remember the carefree happy childhood? Remember how you were always happy. If you had more or less you never cared. Didn't have grudge against anyone? How easily you would forgot how quick you were to forgive? You didn't need many things to feel happy. You never demanded much to love some one. Why? Because you didn't need any reason to be happy. It was inside you.
The material world that we live in today had blinded us of the wealth we are born with. we are brainwashed into believing that the way to happiness is through riches. Happiness has been redefined. It is no longer a peaceful sleep at night, a walk on beach or just watching the starry sky at night. Now happy is the one who has more then he can ever spend in thousand years. Has a private plane and wears expensive brands. We are not happy not because we have reasons to be unhappy. rather we are unhappy today because we are told to be unhappy. Anxiety, depression, sadness, have been imposed on us. We are forced to feel miserable. Any one who has few more pounds then he or she ought to. needs to be ashamed of him or her self. If your hair is not like the model you watch on your tv screen you don't deserve to be happy. We cant find rest until we have all what it takes to be in a position accepted by others. .
why are we not happy? Because we don't ever try to make ourselves happy. What we actually do is to please others? We cant be happy unless we know what we want. When you know yourself you know everything that you should know.
People in our lives, living with us play a vital role in our lives. In our happiness. Often both our happiness and our troubles come from the ones we love. In order to have a happy life we should learn how to have a healthy relationship. We all have the right to speak our mind and so do others. There is nothing wrong if you want to have your rights as long as you don't ignore your duties. One simple rule will help you in you act upon it. DO UNTO OTHERS AS YOU WOULD HAVE THEM DO UNTO YOU. Give happiness if you want to be happy. Love others and you will be loved. Remember you reap whatever you sow.
