In Pursuit of Happiness...

Many ppl: writers, poets, playwrights, even filmmakers, n above all our religious scriptures hav given us elaborate lessons on happiness, but still many of us haven't got it right. I m not some1 who may giv u d perfect way 2 achieve happiness. But juz try this as well.
Lemme giv u a self-derived theorem.
"Wateva we do, or if any changes occur in nature, v can be sure tat it happens only 2 bring more happiness."
This theorem may appear 2 be failing at certain instants, but such appearance is a mere illusion. Thr is a corollary 2 this as well.
"Anything done or changes made 2 bring unhappiness will require more force n energy, n this will always be lesser than d forces of nature."
Like force n energy r physical quantities, happiness is an eternal, divine quantity which can only be felt. One may consult any physicist or refer 2 any physics text, n u may find tat everything will tend 2 reach equilibrium or a more stable state. Even stability as a term may carry only a physical meaning. In this article, this theorem of stability has been extended.
1 may wonder tat how come every change occurs only 2 bring more happiness. I shall now discuss some vry small examples taken frm our day-2-day life.
1) We all get up in d morning, brush our teeth. But y? y shd v do it? ok, try not brushing n u ll feel uneasy while having anything all thru d day. It makes us feel fresh n happy.
2) Wat if v eat pizza wid curd? how wud it be? But v generally hav it wid tomato, mustard or chilli sauce juz 2 taste better n make us happy.
3) V all keep our rooms tidy n clean. Y? It makes us feel pleasant as soon as v enter it. Who wud like enter a dirty, stinking room.
4) V all fall in love n marry or marry n fall in love juz because it makes us feel on top of this world. V knw tat thr s some1 who ll give their everything 4 us!
5) I m writing this 4 my satisfaction coz this article may benefit some1, make some1 lead a better life. Wen i see some1 feeling better brings me happiness in return.
Likewise everything happens 2 bring more n more happiness. Rather in our ancient scriptures, its said tat wen GOD created this universe, he was fully determined 2 bring ntn else but immense happiness. V all knw tat GOD is omnipresent so v need 2 be pleasing wid every1. Infact, bringing sadness/grief or any negetive feeling is so difficult , as difficult as rowing a boat upstream! But its so surprising tat ppl row d boat upstream wid more ease than rowing it downstream! Finding a path of happiness is juz a matter of proper decision-making.
Many say tat d cause of happiness is relative. Here by referring 2 many ppl, I point 2 those who r ignorant. According 2 me, both d cause n d state of happiness is absolute. Thr is no scale 2 measure happiness. Its an art of enjoying d present. Infact, I haven't chosen an apt title. It shd hav been "Happiness in pursuit of u". Being happy is so simple, rather d simplest! But 4 making ppl happy, they need 2 taught abt it in d most complex way. If they r taught in an easy n simple way, they feel tat their GURU is not well-read! Enjoying each n everything which v come across in our daily lives will bring happiness.
Lemme raise a question: How many of u wud enjoy standing in a long queue on a hot, sunny day?
Well, I dun think anybody enjoys tat. But wen i think of those standing behind me, I feel blessed. Wen i think of those ahead of me in tat queue, i appreciate their devotion tat they came earlier. Now juz luk, how beautiful it is 2 see every1 being so different yet all of them hav d same tolerance level, level of patience. Think, in tat heat, how beautifully they were all crafted by Lord Brahma. Other than this, wen i wait in a queue, i come across many things which makes me happy n keeps my senses engaged. This was juz an example.
Work which is not done to bring happiness to 1 or many also if not done out of interest is sheer waste of energy n resources. To this work, many may oppose or/and criticize, but 1 shdn't give up, rather pray 2 d almighty 2 give d ability 2 finish wid maximum efficiency n u, urself row upstream wid full mental n physical energy having juz 1 thing in mind: Wateva outcome this work produces will add 2 d peace n happiness in our society. Some1 is gonna smile coz of u!
SPREAD SMILES! :)
