IDEA OF HAPPINESS
Sometimes I ask myself what the real meaning of happiness is. The answer (responded by my inner conscience) seems unrealistic. Vague! Does wealth really mark the transition of happiness? If yes, how come (most) wealthy not being happy? Do those living life luxuriously find it meaningful or happy? Meaning, does their life signify happiness? Are they satisfied? And, what about those living their life within means? Are they content with their life? If yes, then how do we explain their craving for boundless prosperity? I've witnessed many of them envisaging a life replete with wealth. Is happiness mirage? Well, this seems a bit practical to me as my discretion concedes to it. I find most individuals treating happiness in a strange way; they wish to amass aplenty wealth to bring prosperity to their impoverished life, but then end up seeking happiness in the non-materialistic sources, something akin to spirituality or pilgrimage or even long, deep meditation at Ashram.
