Happiness is relative, don't look at another's life to judge yours. Know that each person sacrifices differently. What makes me happy, may not make you happy. My happiness is defined by my need to succeed, be independent and strong. Your happiness maybe defined by your need to live: enjoy partying, dating, drinking, smoking.....So don't wish to have another's life or happiness because it may not be worth the sacrifice...i'm just saying
P.S: Don't let anyone define you or set boundaries...be known for who you are and what you stand for....
The term "Relative" is the catch word. I totally endorse this. What makes you happy might be a bore to me. What excites me might sap you spirits. Happiness is indeed a relative term. What isn't is the state of happiness.
ReplyDeleteIt's very important to be in that state of mind..people, environment, surroundings etc can only add to it. That's why you see lot of super rich going bonkers. they have everything but aren't happy from inside.
I like to quote a line from a picture I saw as a kid.. "He is the happiest be he a king or a peasant, who finds happiness at his HOME"
Just as charity begins at home, so does a happiness. It comes from the family. I do very well understand that as I was raised in one such family. Happiness personified.
Well said Narendra, however...keep in mind that many people in the western world are not privilege as you to have a wonderful family as yours.... :)
