The world is going haywire in search of
happiness. Yes, the most elusive goal anyone can have. I am wondering now, is
it a realistic goal ? We know that we live in a black and white world. A world
therefore, of dualities. The most practical way to live then is to build up a
strong coping mechanism for what life unfolds before us. The moral strength and
courage to assimilate all experiences . And if this ends up in the feeling of
happiness, that would be super and a definite bonus. Can only happiness be a
goal then ? In our Puranik tales, we have seen even sages and kings getting
angry . Who is considered " happy" ? The tic, the famous, the
educated, the lazy, the restless, the businessman, the home makers, movie stars
, professionals, the married, the unmarried ????
In pursuit of happiness, we have to deal
with day to day challenges and that is our reality. So, actually, " don't
worry, be happy" seems to be a bit of a mindless saying. Are we actually
forgetting to live in the quest for happiness ?
