Happiness, or the lack of it !

The pursuit of happiness is a ludicrous concept . What many people fail to realize is that the harder one chases after it the more elusive ”Happines” becomes . If they chose to , most people would find something or the other ,  in their live’s to be happy about . However being  imperfect as human beings are , we choose to associate happiness with satisfaction and consequently  dissatisfaction causes us unhappiness. A man’s desire only increases as it is fed and he is never truly satisfied . Thus expaining why so many of us are always unhappy about something or the other .

A truly happy person therfore would be one who would not desire anything . Since none of us is truly capable of that kind of ascetism , and also owing to the fact that the very nature of desire is not to be satisfied . Do we then assume that one can ever be happy ?

We would be ” Happy ” if we could  change our perspective by a small degree . Instead of being unhappy about what we dont have , we could be happy about what we have . What if stop whining about the size of the paycheck but be happy that we atleast get to eat 2 square meals a day , instead of cribbing about the size of our apartments cant we be happy that we live in one , can’t we be happy atleast about having loved and been loved instead of crying over lost love or for those who havent found love , cant they be happy that they were spared the heartache …..!

What if we were true to our selves ? Instead of saying we are unhappy about some thing we could simply say ” I am dissatisfied ” or  ” I  desire ” . Even that would be a step towards happiness .
