The Pursuit Of Happ'Y'ness

The life goes on and leaving behind all hopes and aspirations. The only thing valuable for you may not be the best thing for you. The person you care for the most might not care for you, and the person you care the least might care for you the most. That is the kind of irony we face in life.

The quest for happiness leads us to a state where though we are not happy at all, yet the same of our near and dear ones gives us the feeling of Utopian contentment. Though someone might question 'How ?', yet the fact remains that if everyone has to compromise in his/her life once, why not compromise for happiness??

Human traditions and values have bound us to some restrictions where we think that we are at the receiving end in certain situations that come across in the path of life. Then, we try to be Spiritual, which gives us a sense of divine feeling. But is spirituality all about worshiping God and asking HIM for help at the time of trouble??

If we Human beings think so, then it’s really disgusting on the part of us, the best species of God’s creation. I think spirituality means to strive for the best with the believe in God, the supreme power. We may not get everything. But, God is never responsible for it. We aren't capable enough to get that. May be something very good is awaiting for us somewhere. We are the ones who are responsible for everything that happen to us. If we somehow get in to the habit of learning from every situation, then we can get the best out of life!!

At some point of discussion, one of my best friends told me “ there is nothing as such as Right or Wrong, its all about perception”. Though at that time I thought it isn't true, but after some point of time, I started respecting that thought. If we start thinking like that, we will never have any expectation from anyone, and we can be the happiest of all.

Once one question came to my mind “Who is the most unsuccessful person in this world? “. After taking in to account all the incidents that happened in my life, I have got the answer as “the person who is too much EMOTIONAL.“ I giggled at my own craziness, about my own musings. But the truth is always a truth, may be bitter in taste. May be someone won't agree to this answer of mine, but it's the experience I have got in my life which has made me to think like that.

People always say in our time of trouble,” Be practical...be practical! Why r u behaving like a stupid?" I think Practicality and Stupidity are the two sides of the same coin. They always go hand in hand. At a point of life what seems stupid to everyone might seem to us the most Practical solution. You know why is this so? Because Human beings’ strive for happiness make them to behave like that. The practicality is that we are always selfish and we never want to get hurt. Keeping in mind all these, I think the best way to live life is to live being in present, past we can never change and the future is in our hand. We can either make it beautiful or ruin it. It's at our discretion.

Love yourself and be happy. That's the mantra of successful and happy life.

Hehe :))
Writing a 'philosophical' post is like making a romatic Bollywood movie - people will be vary of it, will put up their hands in exasperation, will lament the director for using such an insipid script, but they will [i]still[/i] go and watch it. Moreover, they will have a lot of comments ready after they are done watching it.
Not the case when you write about more 'practical' things like that War on terror post! :D
