Happiness

What manifests happiness in you?In biology, there is a term dopamine which stimulates happiness in your brain and makes you feel good. But how to stimulate it? There are manifold ways to it for different individual. For example, if its my case, i was puzzled initially about the things make me joyous. I had to research on it.Yeah I know it sounds bit absurd but I really did not know what is it to make me happy?
Those who achieve everything so easily in their lives, generally, dont know how it feels to be happy.I am not boasting that i have possessed everything so easily but,instead, I am hapless if i don't know how to react when something huge happens to me. When I see a worker persevering whole day just because at the end of the day he gets pittance pay and will earn two breads for his family to see them happy.He is so happy, so contented...Why cant I be so, when I get a mobile phone or a car ,gifted to me? Thats where lies the quest.
I have all the things which a normal person dreams of,but still I have malaise.But still, there is lacuna.I don't feel contented.Its not my greed or urge to have more,its just i don't feel that I have earned it.I just got it.I didn't struggle for a single thing.And I feel bad when I cant be happy on things for which others have tears of happiness.I want to know how it feels when you achieve what you waited for years.Maybe its my ignorance to the real world but I would call it my Fate.But today when i was consolidating the times when i felt really satisfied it was when I helped without expectations.I reveled it when i gave my umbrella to a group of small kids when it was raining.I knew they can't repay me anything but the happiness was precious.I knew that i am not helping them just by giving a single umbrella to 5 kids but the moment i was selfless and the way they enjoyed being under it when they had never touched it before n their life made me commendable .And thats when i discovered secret of my happiness an di ahve decided to work on it.It really gives pleasure when you pursuit to happiness and in this run you make others jubilant too.We all have one such moment ,grab it and work for it.Life will be easier...

  1. human by nature are always dissatisfied. In a way this is the quality that has led to such modernization. So many gadgets and devices that make our life more luxurious and easy are outcome of this dissatisfaction. I too many times wonder why did god unequally distribute happiness. You have very nicely pointed out the state of being unable to enjoy what to another human being can be something extraordinary.

    Acoording to me you live in such a society that you always are compared to someone or somthing better than you or what you have. So in this blind race we forget that key fact that we cud also be better than someone less fortunate. Thus comes the feeling of dissatisfaction.

    But looking on the brighter side if we dont have this feeling we may never progress .. we might never push ourselves to our limits... i am not saying we must stop enjoying and celelbrating happy moments. But both the facts i mentioned previously should always be considered and remembered in life.. Then only you could be happy ...
