Happiness is a wanting of everyone, there would never be a person who is against being happy yet many fail to realize that happiness is very abstract and complicated, Happiness is so abstract and complicated that it is often confused with many other matters.
Happiness is often been associated with materialistic means such as a luxurious house, a posh car or motorcycle, costly jewels, exquisite possession’s and so forth.
Happiness is also associated with fame where being fam
ous is often miss regarded of being happy with a great name, being showcased on televisions and other prime time medias, known by many, possessing umpteen medals and awards etc.
Many associate happiness with wealth where possessing loads of money and the ability of being lavish is often regarded as being happy
Is it true that being posh, rich and famous is equivalent of being happy?
Well if that’s case ... Children can be regarded as the happiest people around wherever on earth doesn’t seem to be affiliated with any of the above qualities. Also looking at great individuals in the world whom were happy with what they did such as Mother Theresa, Mahatma Gandhi or the great Tamil Poet Bharathi, Aristottle, Plato etc. Didn’t seem to fit the above qualities moreover there are person whom were associated with the above said qualities who never indicated of being happy but rather miseries such as Adolf Hitler, Sadam Hussein etc.
So we do have some examples which detaches happiness with luxury, fame and possessions, lets look at a few more logic related to it; Happiness is a state of being worry free and having the peace of mind but if the logic is detailed down, doesn’t possessions, luxuries and fame creates the burden, commitment and worry through the fear of losing them?
Many fail to realize that happiness is a blissful feeling attained with inner peace but this feeling is buried deep down under many layers of other matters such as luxury, wealth, pleasures, possessions etc. These layers are like thin a glass which illuminates the deep buried happiness but they aren’t the real happiness but rather only a delusion.
One has to break free from all these delusion and free themselves from the mislead teachings of the society which associates happiness with physical materials, posh luxuries and fake fames, the very same society has also associated a desire free life with being incompetent and poverty which is totally wrong.
True happiness is something possessed with a high price and it is an abstract matter which can never be judged by one individual to another, A hungry man would be truly happy with a piece of bread and a rich man would be happy when he saves his possession’s from a thief now which happiness is greater ? One satisfies the hunger from within and the latter satisfies the fear from within.
There are minor matters in life which instils true happiness such as being a kid at times, playing hide and seek with a little one, having a child, seeing a smile, catching a butterfly etc. it doesn’t have to be a million dollar possession to make a person happy.
Happiness should not be a victim of misconception with wealth or fame but rather should be addressed with justice and fairness free from societal norms or a third party’s view, simple questions with genuine answers would make it possible to identify happiness such as ;
What makes you happy? What is that thing which when you do you tend to forget the entire world? What is that which makes you feel so glad and accomplished, what is that which makes you, you?
Answer these questions truly and get on doing the answer derived to be happy and go easy on chasing the wealth and fame forced by the world!
“When a guy bus a Ferrari, inherits a great possession but at the same time he loses his peace of mind the moment he parks it out of his sight ….”
