Happiness - Isn't it what drives everything, we work for happiness, we eat to be happy, sleep to be happy, do whatever we do to be happy and yet it eludes us. It is impossible to be happy forever, as Sri Sri says, forget the "forever" and you are happy.
The other day,I saw a passenger read a book and there was a chapter with title - "Your happiness is not selfish" (or something like that). So, there are books to make you feel happy and there are books to tell you that it is OK to feel happy. What is with it?
The question is - What do you really need to be happy? I would rather ask myself what is that makes me unhappy? This is annual review time at work and a few friends of mine called me up to tell me that they got promoted or got a raise and I am really happy for them. But, at the same time my mind goes for a ride thinking what I need to do get the same and that I deserve it as much as anyone else since I too work as hard. But then, what changed here, it is not that anything happened to me, just that my mind devised a new reason to be unhappy. I think that by nature nothing is sad or wrong, but the mind comes up with it's own ways to cause pain.
