HAPPINESS

Some people’s attitude towards life is definitely pessimistic and they believe that human sufferings start from the day one of his life last till death. Happiness for them is once in a blue moon and it seems, they are never happy with their happiness. They always try to see the negative side of it. They also believe that “ man is a puppet in the hands of cruel fate and the fate works against the desires of man and thwarts his happiness.”

I am totally against and disagree with this view that “ happiness is but an episode in the general drama of life” we should have optimistic approach towards life because short moments of joy are much more effective, than the long ones and well-deserved happiness is always momentarily. Long-term joy loses its richness and purity.

The basic need of human beings is peace and peace lies in happiness which is seemingly hard to find but it is present everywhere. So we cannot deny its presence, as it is the greatest reality of life. Without happiness this world will become a picture without colors and colorful flowers without fragrance.

The main desire of human beings is to obtain happiness. We struggle for all bit of happiness and if, it is already available, we can take it for granted.

Nature is also a great source of happiness for human beings and animals. Many great poets (Wordsworth, Shelley, Keats etc) find comfort and satisfaction in the company of nature. Poems, dramas, movies and mass media play an important role and bring happiness in our lives. So we can say that real happiness is always yours through positive thinking and through optimistic approach towards life. I am absolutely convinced from this view that happiness is in the hands of human beings themselves. Life is infact the name of happiness because life is a beautiful and precious gift given us by God.

But we human beings are greedy and selfish ones who live moment to moment only for ourselves not others small pleasures, however small can turn into treasures , if we share love and distribute our joys which in turn shall bring peace, respect and prosperity in our lives.
