The usual perception all over the world about happiness hovers around the adjectives such as development, success, achievement, growth, etc. But in true sense is it really true? Is it necessary to be happy only if you are extremely successful and established?
There are hundreds of countries all over the world. Some are extremely poor, some are extremely rich and there are some who are mid way on the ladder towards the final destination called as completely developed and successful.
India for decades is defined as a developing country. And if you are asked to associate a country with the adjective developed, then the first few obvious names that would pop up in your mind are USA, Japan, Australia, etc. But then again, a very common and obvious question that we circle upon to is, are we happy? Is anyone in these so called developed countries happy?
Happiness is a virtue. It is a state of mind which is irrespective of money and other valuables. It is a genuine feeling that is instigated and provoked in a person’s mind depending upon his/her instincts, natural desires and desires. The fulfillment of these aspects leads to the penultimate feeling called as happiness.
A person can be dissatisfied but happy. It is a feeling of being ecstatic but incomplete with respect to happiness. There are a species of people who can Bumboo the world to acquire the happiness of the world. i.e. They can go to any extent just to possess that one thing that will provide or grant them that quotient of happiness which they have been seeking for, hours, days, weeks, months, years or decades.
Patience is the key to the acquisition of the ultimate goal of happiness. There are times when one achieves all the desired goals, but is never satisfied. In such cases the person is majorly bumboo’d and after reaching a point of no return, no matter what the person does, the level of satisfaction and happiness is never achieved.
Thus, one must learn to accept, agree, and be satisfied for the ultimate goal of happiness!! :)
