Everybody wants Happiness, but who truly has it? #Innerpeace

"Happiness" seems to be a pretty simple word, everybody says they are happy but they do not experience the real bounds of happiness. I say it has mysterious way of its own to truly own it. We think rich people are the one who are very happy because it is the common mindset of everyone.

They have the money so they are happy but we also forget what are the other effects of having too much money. Money can buy cars, Bungalows, Land, the list goes on without an end, but the list also contains stress of keeping the money safe, anger which comes with stress, ego of having unlimited money, hatred for people who are below them, jealousy for people who has more money than them and the list goes on getting bigger because the needs of a man do not end till he dies.

But the question is, how often we get be happy in our lifetime if we think seriously and put our mind to it. I say we were very happy when we were kids, when we were growing up, absorbing the knowledge with the little innocent minds of ours till the concept of money comes to our mind :D.

We were innocent, good, kind and had all the good qualities that an every man should have, but why should we forget where we came from once the money occupies us. We are far above to be bound to a concept of money. I would like to tell stories of such few people who truly attained happiness.

A man asked Lord Buddha, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu the supreme god head( Not trying to hurt feelings of any other religions here, One god different forms), that "I want happiness". Lord Buddha went to a very basic things and explained it to the man by saying, "Your question itself is capable enough to answer you". Further said that "stop saying "I" which shows the ego in you and Stop saying you want something which shows the desire in you, do your work with honest now the only thing you are left with is Happiness". The man for some reasons knew he understood what Buddha said and left the place thanking him.

Money is quite important but we should not make it own us because as i said we are far above than what money is. Happiness lies in sharing things with people who do not have, Happiness lies in keeping yourself within you, not to let other's behavior destroy your inner peace, respecting the knowledge, in keeping your words, in being honest.
All i can say is to go back to your very basics while you were growing :D.
