Happiness?

Happiness:
The state of well-being characterized by emotions ranging from contentment to intense joy.

In our current era; the technological age, it is getting increasingly harder to be happy. I'm not talking about smiling and laughing and all those surface emotions. To be truly happy, lies within the heart.

Stress level is high, expectations have become improbable, people are getting mysterious, obstacles are too many too great, time is always too short etc etc. Most of the time, we are busy with things in life. We are always busy with work, busy with school, busy with tests, busy with projects, busy with materials of the world. But we never seem to have time to rest. We have been so caught up with all these things of life, that we forgot about the internal side of us. We lose our true selves in this mass flurry of expectations and competition.

Ask yourself this. When was the last time you felt truly happy; that warm fuzzy feeling inside your heart; that indescribable feeling. Maybe some of us felt it recently, well then good for you :). But some of us have not experienced this for a very long time. And this is actually a very sad thing. I've seen many people lose sleep because they had to rush to complete homework and projects. And they get irritated easily because of the lack of sleep. And the thing is, you hardly see these people smile. Its sad to see this. It feels as if the people around me are slowly forgetting how to be happy again. The mood is always gloomy and all they ever think about and stress about are their studies and results and work and all that. It is unhealthy. It is bad. And the worst of all is that these people are also affecting the people around. Very soon our world will be devoid of happiness, and no i dont want to live in a gloomy world.

Sometimes we have to take a break. A break from all these worldly things. We must becareful not to lose our true selves while we are chasing our own goals and dreams. Do not fall too deep, or else it will be harder to get back out.
