Happiness…
what is happiness?
Happiness
is a concept; it is a mental attitude, more to do with one’s own self than with
others. It is something that comes from within, no currency can buy it and it
is completely being foolish to search for it in the materialistic possessions.
It is rightly said:
Real happiness has
to be inherited by the soul and not by the body.
Today
man has become hypocritical. He has lost himself amidst the momentary lust of
the world. He takes pride in showing his possessions, but deep inside he seeks
contentment. Do you know this is the major reason why West is running after
yoga and meditation. They have realized now that:
All the lust is
going to rust.
So
they are seeking happiness in spiritualism, in the ultimate truth.
Materialism
is adding fuel to the widening divide between the rich and the poor. And this
gap is adding criminals day in and day out, who have no rules and no code of
conduct. A very appropriate saying Hindi goes as:
Na biwi, na mayya,na bap bada na
bhaiyya
The whole thing is
that, ki sabse bada rupaiyya.
Today
man has lost his ethical values by running after money. It won’t be exorbitant
in saying that materialism has brought in this cut-throat race and stress along
with it. Today man has become money-minded. Humanity has become a word to be
found in dictionary alone. Brain drain is also because of this craze for money.
At the
end I would say that the thirst of greed can never be quenched. So bring
contentment into your lives. As this is the only way to be happy.
