Happiness

Happiness is nothing more than good health and a bad memory.
----- Albert Schweitzer
उद्देश्य जन्म का नहीं कीर्ति या धन है।
सुख नहीं धर्म भी नहीं ना तो चिन्तन है।
विग्यान ग्यान भी नहीं ना तो दर्शन है।
जीवन का अन्तिम ध्येय स्वयं जीवन है ॥
------- दिनकर

The aim of life, in simple language, is being happy all the time. Some people get happiness by amassing money, some by playing a game or pursuing certain hobbies, or by following relegious activities etc. But while doing all these, many a times we forget the very purpose of life.

“We run so fast for so long that we often forget what we are running for.”

Sometimes we take life so easy that we don’t care what is happening, why it is happening and so on. Just doing the essentials, eating and shitting (of course breathing also, but it happens effortlessly). Too much of carelessness may cause troubles in a long run.

Some people take life too seriously, analyzing every fact, each incident. While it is good to be wise and cautious, there is a risk of being lost in the infinite maze of thoughts and principles. It is not necessary that you apply all your knowledge acquired in the simplicity of life. You just need to extract happiness out of life every moment. And if your complex thoughts prevent you from doing so, forget those thoughts and principles. You can not be a slave of knowledge. Freedom Zindabad!
