Happiness - the elusive bird
What don't we do to achieve it..
Search for the perfect job?
Seek the perfect life partner ..? Compatible Inlaws?
..have babies?
Shop endlessly
Party to numb pain..
Travel to exotic places...
Eat comfort food..
Bury ourselves in Books..Movies..Friends
Be highly networked..thnik it is about that position or pay packet
We live those moments..cuz it gives us hope that at the end of the rainbow..we will find our pot of endless happiness..
But what happens the minute it is over?
When the people/situations we are dependent on ..cause unhappiness?
.we live in denial..trying to numb the pain ..desperately seeking to bring those moments back again..
There is a line in the movie "Break ke baad"..
"What's the point of wiping the photo frame repeatedly when the.spots are on the photo. ."
Joy has to come from within..
Once that happens..our perspective to situation changes..when we are happy by our own actions..our reactions to situations and grief
We start feeling happy about "Our Now"
..We live freer..more brighter..High on Life and magical each day..
Like the musk deer who seeks for the scent everywhere but within..
Search within..cuz It's all within you..

loved the poem...when there are spots on the photo why wipe the frame...true!
wow!! so true!
Unless you are happy with yourself, you can never truly be happy with anything else in life.
I agree, happiness and joy has to come from within!
