Dalai Lama once said: “The very purpose of our life is to seek happiness.”
You may or may not agree this statement of life purse, but no one will deny that happiness is a very important part of our life. Unlike water and air, people may not die if they are not happy. However, recent studies have shown that a lot of disease especially chronic health problems are more or less related to anxiety and unhappiness.
Since happiness is so important. Is everyone in the world happy? Maybe there is a lot of people are happy, but there is also large group of people are unhappy.
Why people are not happy? Is happiness a very difficult thing to achieve?
There are many reasons people are not happy. However, most of people are not happy because their needs are not meet. For example, a child didn’t get a toy when he asks his parent to buy for it. Or an employee is not happy because her boss didn’t increase her salary.
Then, it comes to the next question: Will people be happy if they get what they want?
Some people will be happy if they have food to keep them alive. Other people may only be happy if they are rich, healthy, handsome or beautiful…
People’s needs vary, yet it’s amazing to see that some people can be happier with less fortunate.
Could we say that happiness is actually a choice? You can choose whether you are happy or not if the boss didn’t increase the salary. The boss would not care whether you are happy or not. You are the one feeling for it, and whether you are happy or not won’t change the boss’s mind. So, why not choose to be happy?
Someone says “Happiness is simple”. It’s true on one side, as you can CHOOSE to be happy. On the other side, making this choice is not necessary an easy task. Why? Because it’s so natural to feel upset when we didn’t get what we want. A simple example, babies will cry if they are hungry.
