Officer: '' How long it takes to catch as many fish as this? "
Fisherman: "Not long."
Officer: "Why do not you spend more time to catch more fish?"
Fisherman: "The amount of this is more than enough for my family."
Officer: "However, what you do at other times? You find fish just a moment .... "
Fisher: "Oh Lord I'm very busy. I wake up during the day, go fishing for a moment, playing with my kids, go shopping with my wife, sitting in the shop reading newspapers and chatting with my friends. Anyway I was busy spending my time. "

Fishermen: Ohhh, is not that what I'm doing now? ''
I often say to my heart, that happiness is relative, he is not the item can be measured. Size happiness of people living in slum certainly different from living in mansions. Measure of happiness they were high school graduates would have been different with S1 or S2. Therefore, we occasionally do not judge whether or not someone happy with our size.
My heart too often whisper: Happiness is when we can enjoy all that we have. However, this is the beginning of a new level. The next level of happiness is when we can share our happiness with people we love (his wife-kin). The next level, this is probably the highest happiness is when we are not "own" any -padahal maybe we got everything- so that we can give to light it all for the benefit of the universe. Without any due, unless the instigation of divinity.
