What is Happiness

It is a much used word, Happiness. To our mind it sends images of a smiling face, wide cheers on the face. Is this Happiness?

Can everyone be equally Happy? Or, should everyone be?

Should you strive to be happy? Or, should You even recognize that You are unhappy?

To some these are philosophical discussions. But how do You live through these questions without the hat of philosophy?

Happiness is not an overarching emotion that everyone should strive for. It’s not a thing to possess, and not possessing is some kind of a societal shame.

May be, Happiness and all ways to achieve it are only a humble submission of ours to the grand scheme of life we find ourselves in. May be, Happiness derives its importance only from the fact that it is a tribute to being alive. Its nature is devotional and subtle, not material.
