Is this topic inappropriately titled? I am afraid it is, but I do not care if the reader becomes clear after reading what really I have on mind what I meant to say in point of fact.
Happiness is brief, and it is fleeting and can not be in our grip everlastingly. We are running to a mirage to arrive at an illusion and that is what we live with in a world of illusion. Our Gurus promise us an endurable happiness in heaven if we live by the ways they recommend. We get deluded and suffer in this world in a dream of rejoicing in an afterlife.
We keep on amassing wealth, adding more and more number of houses, expanding our territories, and of course positioning ourselves strongly financially, politically, professionally, socially. Yet before we can consume the fruit of our labor things will go off as we will depart or we will fall to a situation we can not consume.
This calls for a startup in life. To live ‘in the here and now’ present moment, for what you take as tomorrows are hazy, and I am not acting or reacting our of my sainthood but as an observer. I am accustomed to seeing the unseen and walk the un-walked.
This happiness thing has obsessed me for long and has acted upon me as fetters. I want to unchain myself and want to see what the rest of others here have to deal with the issue of happiness
