Happiness : An Illusion or Reality?
The wait is over!!
Many believe that happiness arises from owning material things. People strive for years together to gain materialistic pleasure which is termed by them as Happiness. Its like having a deal with “being happy”. “The more I have, the more happy I will be or I will be happy once I get a promotion or a pay hike”. This sounds familiar isn't it?. Thus, we start putting a condition on our own happiness. Sadly though, achieving material things doesn't guarantee happiness . Since human wants are not only unlimited but also keep changing from time to time.
Many others believe that happiness stems from within. Meaning happiness is intrinsic. If one is satisfied then one is happy. One may not run after materialistic virtues to be happy. Its all about how you feel from within. You are not depending on any person or situation to be happy.
So how do we know whether happiness is a reality or an illusion and how do we find happiness? These questions do need some deep thought and reflection. Many of us are in search of happiness and they don't think that they can ever find it. Well this according to me is an illusion. An illusion is like a ghost which doesn't exist. So stop running in search of happiness. Happiness need not come with a price tag. It can be experienced by anyone.
The very quest to find happiness itself make you aware about your feelings. However, don't strain yourself in the process of finding happiness. Happiness is easy to find and experience. This is a reality. Happiness lies in doing what you like or reading your favorite book or eating a burger. It could be anything petty and simple. You create your own happiness. Don't waste your time in running after making a situation perfect in order to be happy. It lies within you and you have to wake up to it.
One can never always be sad and similarly no one can always be happy. This is a reality. So be happy and don't be afraid of losing your happiness. For your happiness is in your hands.
