Every living creature wants to be happy. To be happy, people seek something: money, power or sex. But even after getting it, one is not happy.
A child thinks he will be happy when he goes to college. Once in college he thinks he will be happy when he starts earning. Then he thinks happiness will be achieved once he is married. And the story goes on and that special day never comes! All of one’s life is spent in preparing to be happy someday in the future. It’s like making a bed all night but having no time to sleep!
So instead of making our life a pursuit of happiness and waiting to be happy someday, let’s live our life as an expression of happiness!
