IDEA OF HAPPINESS

IDEA OF HAPPINESS: 

Idea of happiness depends upon what a person has at the very specific moment.  A person may think that without wealth there would be no happiness, so he would try to get more and more wealth.  But if he be contended and have satisfaction with what he has, there is happiness in it. One cannot get happiness by laboring for it.  Happiness comes as naturally and as refreshingly as the morning air.  A person even can get happiness by enjoying the work in hand.  Our high hopes and soaring ambitions often make us unhappy when they are not fulfilled.

Happiness in general excludes envy and jealousy.  Do not look what others have, rather remain satisfied with what you have.  The habit of comparing and contrasting, and desire to become what others are often causes a sorrowful heart.

Happiness even can be found in watching birds chattering and butterflies flying on the colorful flowers or merely by looking at the beauties of Nature.  In fact one can find happiness in every moment by absorbing, being consider it as very important. 

Happiness is a state of mind and not a possession.  It is a product of imagination and not of striving.  It is to be enjoyed through spirit and not through senses.  It is felt and not seen though transpires from the subject. 

Enjoying the peace of mind is the happiest moment of one’s life on the other hand hankering after the material things and worldly desires takes to unhappiness.  It is best above all that we should do our duties without thinking or expecting results.  Duties which we have been destined to perform should be our aim, this makes us not to overjoy on success and frustrate on unsuccessfulness.

  • "..............the sense of happiness itself come out from the grateful attitude......."

    This is the gist of the topic. Thanks Icha!

  • Nice written Mishaikh,

    Actually happiness is choice, we always can choose it in our all conditions. In my humble opinion, the sense of happiness itself come out from the grateful attitude. So, we always could see a positive thing for every moment in our life. Try to put it in our mindset that could bring happiness in our heart indirectly.

    Thanks for sharing with us :)

  • Thanks Seeker for your elaboration of the topic. 

  • Word by word Mohammad's Persian poetic lines.  Please Mohammad correct me if I am wrong. 

    هركجا = wherever

     تو با مني = you are with me

    من خوشدلم  = I am happy

    گر بود = if it is

    در قعر = in the bottom

    چاهي = well

    منزلم = my destination/home/place to stay.

  • Thanks abiba for posting such a nice comment.  I love it.

  • Thanks Mohammad for such beautiful poetic comment.

  • Wherever you are with me I am happy, even if my home would be at the bottom of a well !!

     هركجا تو با مني من خوشدلم ،،، گر بود در قعر چاهي منزلم

    God bless bro!

  • @Setareh: Thanks for the elaboration of the topic and comprehensive comment.

  • Thanks saba for the comment.

  • Dear Mishaikh, I myself have experienced the happiness that is the result of not comparing myself with others. If you are satisfied with what you have, it will give you happiness. I also believe that happiness comes from within; external things might make me happy for a short period of time but happiness that comes from within will last longer and will make me stronger. 

    we can not be happy alone, so happiness is a feeling that will be increased by sharing it with others. others happiness and success always make me happy. Nice post! thanks for sharing.
