What happens in every day life to all of us is very unique and almost rare to every individual. But we tend to quantify, qualify, justify all our actions and behavior. We know, we do not know, we are right and we are wrong , we fail, we succeed and all this happens to all of us every day, every moment of life. This is all fair. Where we get caught is, when we perceive things happening to us as unfair, not beneficial or most importantly not as we want...
My problem is with the last category .... getting hurt and disappointed of not getting and not happening as we want.... in last several months, i have realized very hard that people including me do not really know what we want and what makes us happy. Indeed i know very few people who know and i salute them. I can take names here but better if its avoided. But majority do not know what they want and what makes them happy. If what people have yearned for and have got.. like abundance wealth ( more than they asked) , unlimited fame, attention, and all comforts and luxuries and almost everything including holiday to moon is affordable and still not happy..... what do you call them??? is it the greed that makes them crave for more and remain unhappy for ever or is the insecurity of losing all that they have like wealth, name, youth, beauty etc???
If both the cases, people who get by not deserving will feel that way... instant riches, out of turn popularity, manipulated success will bear the brunt of unhappiness. M.S Subba lakshmi, Rehman, Lata Mangeshkar, Saurav ganguly, Dravid, dhoni were and are surely happy souls..They know, they deserve and they got it and will never feel in secured.
I do not know if some of you have experienced or heard or known ... but most of these unhappy people have the tendency to frustrate unconnected people often as they tend to shower all the emptiness on the innocents. According to me, innocence is the highest power and close to divinity as many matters of hurt will not touch them. If it touches them, they should merely show sympathy on people showing frustration... its not the wealth or name that is powerful and sustaining , but it it the power of endurance and silence that will get us maximum happiness and peace.
As much as this piece is abstract, there is an under current expression that, happiness can be got in knowing what we want and in enjoying the same in silence and not in being pompous or aggressive. The real wealth is putting up with all the perceived and real pain with tremendous grace and trust in god. Goodness , integrity , truthfulness , silence can rob one of all that is material and such people can be misunderstood but none can rob the peace, happiness from them as it flows into them like oxygen in a healthy body
