happiness


No one should ever ask themselves:

why am I unhappy?

The question carries within it the virus that will destroy everything. If we ask that question it means we want to find out what makes us happy. If what makes us happy is different from what we have now, then we must either change once and for all or stay as we are, feeling even more unhappy.

this is an excerpt from a book i have read... n i think it is true...

why should we think we are unhappy???... i think all of us should try to b happy in whatever we have... this fast paced life has made us forget what it is to be happy... we want more n more... crave for things that r unwanted... this leads to us feeling unsatisfied... we feel we dont have so many things... but do we ever realise that our wants r all materialistic???.. do we ever realise that we could do without these things we crave???

y not try to live with what we have n what comes our way rather than want more n more??.. y not b satisfied???... i know its very difficult to b satisfied these days...

take for example shopping... we just go to buy a dress n what all do we look for??... we check the shoes... we check purses... we check jewellery... n buy so much thats not really wanted... if we cant afford it we crib n crave... n again get unhappy about it... n if we can afford it we buy it wear if for a while n forget about it.... is this what we r looking out for???... is this the sort of happiness we want??

i think we should crave for happiness on a more spiritual level... happiness should b such that it brings us peace... makes us glow... makes us smile... makes us want to see others happy...

awww life can get tough sometimes... we might feel unhappy... might think this is all crap... but then i guess after a while we should bounce back... try to b happy... try to make others happy...

so lets make a pledge today... lets make a decision today...

i will always try to remain happy... will always try to forget my sadness... will always smile... and last of all will make others smile too...

laterzzzz :)

Ar Ar Ar Arrrrr said...

I read this somewhere...I dont know where and when (damn to that lusty post of Keshi...few of ma new posts got erased from ma mind yesterday)..

Anyway, back to serious commenting...
Why do we tend to be unhappy? Why cant we be satisfied with wht god has given us right now? Im sure there are many people out there in this world, who dont even get all this.

So thank god for whtever he has given to you now. and be happy with it.

What say m000nie piez??

Here's my modified pledge:
I will always try to remain happy...
Will always try to forget my sadness..
Will always smile...and freak cutie-pies around me
And last of all will make others smile too..with ma weird comments and posts in blog-world

Greetz!!
and smile ofcourse :)

Keshi said...

damnnnn I thought I was first here :(


m000nie Starshines that was very joyfyl read...gave me happy vibes...what a brilliant msg.


**why should we think we are unhappy

when I feel unhappy thats usually not for a materialstic need. Seriously I dun get bummed by such needs. so usually I feel unhappy when I cant maintain my spiritual beliefs...u know something like being impatient or angry at something/someone...I hate feeling that way and it makes me unhappy that I dun live upto what I believe, even if's short-lived. So I work on restoring it and them Im happy :)


**happiness should b such that it brings us peace... makes us glow... makes us smile... makes us want to see others happy.

Exactly! Real happiness is achieved only by the above. I dunno how some ppl can be happy at another's misery but there are ppl like that. For me, if I cant see another happy (it could be my mum or sis or my friend), then I really cant be happy...so I always try to keep everyone happy and that way I am happy too.

m000nie u always make me happy...u always radiate positive vibes and it's so good to know someone like u...z000nie u r the same...I luv all of u for making me HAPPY :)

Hiiiii
Good Post dear....

why should we think we are unhappy???...
Do we really think that way...
If I'm unhappy I'm unhappy... I wont think and become Unhappy...

we feel we dont have so many things... but do we ever realise that our wants r all materialistic???
No alwayzzz dear...
I agree that one shouldnt be unhappy for materialistic things but not all our wants are materialistic...

Happiness is a Habit...
Cultivate it ...

Cheers

Sometimes you expect too much from others and when you don't get that you just get depressed. Sometimes things just don't work the way you want them to. I don't know....I've been thinking a lot lately so I can just go on and on and on. But I won't say anything here :-)

Tanvi said...

Dewdrop said...

Why am I unhappy?
I think the main reasons behind this question is lonliness, not knowing what one wants, false beliefs, misery, failure to achieving goals, ennui, relationship prbs and jealosy. Once these are resolved, happiness is bound to take over

Keshi said...

m000nie I know Im not first :( but I have a suggestion for ya..lol...can u delete Avik and z000nie's comments thats b4 mine, and re-copy em below...that makes me first...lolllz Im kidding...Avik and z000nie is looking at me with a murderous look right now...

messys musings said...

arun
the excerpt is from 'zahir'... n naah havent read that book.. will get it read it i guess

mich
awwwwww lol yeah thats our pledge from now on :)

ahaan
*I think its the gap between what we r and what we want to be that makes us unhappy .Cuz when we tend to get the thing we always wanted we immediately set ourselves new desires , new ambitions and thus the gap again comes making us unhappy again and to such extent that we even forget to enjoy the thing that we have just got....

bingooooooooo thats wat i wanted to say... :D

messys musings said...

cheesy, tanvi
awww happens to all i guess... we make up our minds n thn bak to square one... but that doesnt mean we shud stop trying rite ... lol

kr00pie
awww y not post some of ur thoughts?? we'd give our opinion na... come one let us into wats going on in ur head :D

misty
its not always unhappiness that makes us realise we r happy... happiness is not necessarily connected with unhappiness... thats wat i feel... its a separate emotion by itself...

messys musings said...

dewdy

"........in every life we have some trouble,

don't worry, be happy
dont worry be happy now
..........
look at me im happy,
don't worry, be happy
..........
aint got no cash, aint got no style,
aint got no gal to make you smile
but don't worry, be happy

cos when you worry, your face will frown,
and that will bring everybody down,
so don't worry, be happy

don't worry, be happy now...

don't worry, be happy
don't worry, be happy
.........."

m000nie just delete z000nie n Avik's comments plz thank u :) lol Im kidding! Hey good to know that Deips is ok...I think he dropped by my blog to say Hi yday...that was sweet. Now that ITCC losa is acting like Deips and created a blog with Deip's nic n all. He has done that to me too and with my profile pic as well - so if u suddently see dumb comments looking like it's from me...watch out its not me...it's that losa.

Invincible said...

a glance of your mesmerising eyes
n the worries wud wither away
a smile on your angelic face
wud make evn the most grievous moments gay

smile smile all the time :)

The spiritual connection you hinted: they say
one shud always b happy in this material world for wotever God has given
the only reason 2 b unhappy should be that even after getting so much from him, we r still not with God, still not there !!
Instead of seeking God, we seek pleasure in these mundane things, n crib for more.
