But we are unhappy

From the time our journey on this planet began there was happiness all around. When we were born, there was happiness in our family; when we started toddling, there was applaud from everyone; when we progressed from nursery to higher classes, there was happiness as well as encouragement. When we traversed to higher classes with flying colours, there was happiness and expectations all around. Then our hard work was paid and we got a job: some after rigorous training; some after passing out from a technical college. There was happiness all around. Our journey continued, and was accentuated with happy moments: it was marriage, the honeymoon, getting kids, or a promotion, or a new car or gadget; our life was full of felicity to the brim. Then we aged; got experience;  made the acquaintance with the vicissitudes of lives; and our happiness metamorphosed into resentment. Our lives started stagnating and we were devoid of the happiness. A flashing point occurred when our own child started performing well and even got to premiere institutions. Now, we get happiness in quantized form, but, we don’t let our faces to emit happiness. Rather, we try to be sad in our appearance—for reasons, God only knows and permeate sadness all-around. Why?

To this point, we already have travelled a lot far in our lives; already have achieved certain things, and are on the verge of possessing other—only to leave our friends, family members, subordinates or colleagues to envy from our achievements, excellence, possessions or ascent in our lives. Everything is there sans happiness. Why? The answer lies with you. The aspirations, inspiration and perspiration have taken a backstage. Let them take the center-stage—the guiding principle—now, and for ever, and happiness will be back with a bang again. Let the things happen, which is beyond our control, but happiness must remain and inspire our lives. And our wandering will transform into jogging, jogging into ambling, ambling into trembling, trembling into trotting and trotting into gallop. Whether we inspire the generation next or not, we can propagate happiness: in our homes, or at our works, or in our society. And don’t bother about the mark we will leave, bother about happiness, right attitude and the friendship or kinship we develop around ourselves. The departure from this planet, although will be painful to some, but, when people will think about you, they will boast about the happiness we have permeated in and around ourselves. So, be happy and perform well in every facet of our lives--is the catch line.
