What is Happiness


What happens when you share an apple to another person? You will have only the other half instead of a full apple. What happens if you share the same apple among four? Now you have only 25% of an apple to consume. You will be happy to eat an apple rather than having a share of it. And once you knew that you had a choice of consuming one full apple you will feel sad of having only half of it.

While the person who had no chance of having an apple have a chance to enjoy the share of apple. Then eventually he shall praise you for your sharing and will thank you. Which is gonna help you to subdue the effect of not having the full apple as it is appealing to your ego.

On the similar lines if you share happiness or the reason for happiness they say that it increases by manifold. So, when I achieved something, all I needed would be some recognition and an emotional thing with a person that can help me to satisfy my ego.

Or some of the many times people try to increase the happiness by hurting or showing others what others lack and what they possess or achieved. Only few shall respond to it in a positive way. While when you try to make the world a better happy place, all you end up is satisfying your ego and hurting others. Is it the meaning of sharing happiness helps others?

While emotional dependency makes you get married where two people can satisfy their egos. Is it more like an amendment between two persons rather than pure happiness? I never remembered tasting the manifold effect of sharing happiness. And what is pure happiness meant. When will it be achieved? Is that something when you have everything and you are clueless what to do with them, then you go and search for something and does something like helping others and others praise you then you are happy.

Is it helping others make you happy or the publicity or the feeling gratefulness that people hold to you?

Now, yesterday I almost made a decision to be a guide to the nearby mountain, so that I can trek, then does agriculture for livelihood and have cattle and stay healthy. Then one of my colleague asked if you want to stay like that how you will get money and go onsite and get married or have a social status.

Am I entangled in the vicious circle unknowingly? Being a fabulous week I had in the company for the whole two years, the reason only I can find happiness is watching them get hurt. If you can share the other person’s soreness along with happiness then only you are human. When you try to be happy with others sorrow, when that person wins or happy you feel sad, you are in a ego war rather than pure humanity.

People stop reading frwrds for the sake of frwrding it and being in touch, learn from the words rather than appealing to the ego and satisfying yours.
