When are we going to be “Happiest”?
I asked above question to myself n number of times…..right from the days when I started making some sense what does this great word ”HAPPINESS” stand for? . And every time I used to find different answer altogether. Then gradually I realized notwithstanding once I will achieve or reach the stage wherein I foresee myself to be a” Happiest”…….. my mind would cultivate different answer for same question and this is sedulous process since my childhood. Therefore I really wonder when my mind will allow me to become “happiest” and I will put to rest this question once for all. Perhaps never……………..but why?? Perhaps because my mind works on the behest of my desirers……….and desires are endless therefore unless I will make my desires finite and countable I might never reach a stage of being “HAPPIEST”.
Now the biggest question is how am I going to control my desires? I don’t know because had this been that easy and there were some thumb rule for this. I would have been reached to “HAPPIEST” stage long ago and so many others also likewise. But of course there are some common grounds wherein majority of us, used to find ourselves elated and happy precisely when we are in good sound relationship….be it with mother ,father,brother,friends…….or the lovers………….. What does is this which makes some of our relationship work and some don’t? Why we get along with someone as house of fire and some we just can’t standoff. Perhaps because we always look forward for likeminded people and look to make friendship only with folks whom we think that, they have the traits which we already possess or which we always strive to have in our persona, and he already possess. How many times we meet somebody and then talk about him with everybody else that what a great guy he is? He has great sense of humor, he is very down to earth and an intelligent person .We immediately starts liking him because perhaps we want to have all these traits in our persona. And we’ll gel with each other only if I also I have some of these traits in my persona since he is also functioning with same rule…………..and once we will fulfill each other’s criteria we will have long lasting good sound relationship and be happy in each other’s company…and gradually if once start realizing that either party is falling short and have developed contrast of the traits second rule will come into play……….”we just can’t standoff” that guy……………………….. In nutshell relationship are like MIRRORS for happiness…………….choice is ours what we want to see in that Mirror…..
