Few days back while talking to one of my closest friend one of her question struck my mind. She asked me 'hows life!', i said enthusiastically 'life is great!' to which she asked why? what happened? i was surprised by her question. It gave me a picture as if she was expecting me to have a reason to be happy or enthusiastic about life. Is it necessary?
All our lives we are looking for happiness, all our endeavours are directed towards being happy at the end. But what we don't realise is that being happy is not an end but the means itself. If we can't feel happiness while doing something how do we expect to be happy after that endeavour is over? Isn't it similar to running after shadow?
I feel being happy is our very nature whereas sadness, anger, frustration, tension & all other negative emotions need a hanger or a reason. When all such reasons are sorted out, what remains is pure happiness.
Most of us are always looking for it outside however the source lies inside us & we don't even appreciate it.... :-)
