We meet a lot of people daily.

We smile and greet them.

Our first question is, “How are you?” and we end up giving that bookish answer, “I am good”.

I still remember my nursery school classes, when my teachers or parents thought me the answer to this question and we reply the same.

In this haphazard world, we work more technically. Our lifestyle is technical and we have forgotten ourselves.

No one asks us, “Are you happy?”

There are thousands of people around us and we still we feel lonely.

Psychology says, “Being surrounded by people is our basic need.”, we never focus or take it as need.

We try to prove that we are self-sufficient.

Statistics say that almost one in two people will go through a stage in life when they seriously consider suicide. US mental health data says,

“1 in 5 adults experience mental illness in a given year. 1 in 25 adults experiences a serious mental illness. 18% live with an anxiety disorder.”

The fact is that most people are not open or honest about the struggle they go through with their own thoughts and feelings. They try to suppress that feeling and never share it.

In general, men are much worse than women at admitting their deepest concerns because men are taught to be stoic. They need people to talk whatever thoughts come up but they don’t have one.

If they have someone to talk still they are confused to talk. They think that people can judge them.

We need to be more close to the closed one. They might need external help and we can be the one.

Everyone can change the World and make it a happy place to live.

The easiest way is to instead of being friends on social site and hovering their social media profiles, be the real friend.

Ask them, “Are they happy?”

Make a happy world.

If you see sad faces around you, try to ask them. Let’s change our greeting from “How are you?” to “Are you happy?”

Make this world the best place to live by helping each other :)
