The idea of pure bliss

How is happiness defined? Is it something to do with the joy of doing things that we like? What if it can be controlled! If you ever walk into the mall, you'll notice it. Most such shopping places are filled to the brim with stuff. Clothes, food items, consumer durables, toys,etc. The arrangement makes us unhappy unless we buy them. Sometimes for no good reason. More of something so arranged makes a compulsive behaviour of things seeking attention. So, there it is. Our emotions were made to suit us. You would either feel sad on not having any of those items inside your home or would feel very sad on not having enough to buy enough of them! What if our emotions could get controlled? Like having a pill to feel happy, to have an energy drink to feel like in love, to make oneself feel sad...I guess not. Maybe such stuff is already in the market. But happiness can't be derived from such things. After the initial high from any substance, we would also feel the depths of depression. Happiness is one of mankinds way of comparing between good and bad,ugly and beautiful. We only become happy when comparing one thing to the other, oneself to someone or comparing a situation to another. When the comapring stops, bliss starts. That to me is enlightenment. Once enlightened....you are too small for comparision and too big to be ignored....keep at it...thinking

Charter to Happiness........Flight to Pain

Ever wondered, what life is all about? Ever since we come here-there is a constant desire in us to do something, be something and make something happen. But the greatest of all it is the desire to be happy. That is the ultimate thing! Like I just saw this movie-The Pursuit of happyness, I thought, let me share something with you. Ours is a life-long pursuit to achieve happiness.We strive for it, but never go so near as to be in it's wake of embrace. Happiness is something we would never get inside our doors. Thats how things are meant to be. Otherwise we wouldn't improve. The whole of human progress is based on our endeavor to go after happiness. But we never are happy. Satisfied, yes. Happy, no. In real life only the dead ones are really happy. Our strive for perfection, our goals, our monetary pursuits and in every aspect of our life; we seem to be getting close to happiness. But happiness never remains or wants to attain a part of us. This is how it is meant to be. See, if we all are happy, joyous, we would certainly cease to exist. There would be no comprehensive growth. There would be no TV set invented. Because, people are happy with their radios. There would be no computers. Because, people are happy with their TV’s. There would be no laptops. Because, people are happy with their PC’s. Life goes on. Greed is the supreme form of dissonance. In all it's forms, it leads us to further pursue our well being. It can also lead to sadness. But without it, we would all be happy and jolly good fellows. And then. There would be no such thing as improvement, betterment, growth, invention, creative. All the creativity in the world is through the evil hands of greed. Sadness again? Choose at your own peril!!
