Hailing Happiness

Happiness is a variable term - for some, it may be receiving the much-awaited video game as a birthday gift. For some, it may mean winning a renowned competition. For some, it may be the publishing of the next book in the series, and for some, it may be holding your mother's hand after a long time.

Everyone wants happiness to play a paramount part in their life. It's ironical that when people fight for happiness, they usually end up grieving.

For most people, things that make them happy are generally part of a massive web of illusions. Some humans have an insuperable thirst for wealth, power and submission. At that moment, happiness becomes a puppet operated by the clever actions of greed. Such people finally realize when they are experienced and old, that everything had been for nothing. They hadn't known true happiness at all.

Clearing the mist in front of our eyes, it becomes clear that happiness is nothing but finding something good in small, unnoticeable things, along with enjoying their company. In short, enjoying every moment of your life, finding a good reason to live for, can give birth to eternal happiness.

'Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times, if one only remembers to turn on the light.'              
                                                                                                                     -Albus Dumbledore

We do like being happy, don't we? Well, it's time we understand that spreading happiness is a much more important thing. Providing others with happiness is free of cost, isn't it? Who knows? One day, someone might return the favour!

And that is why I'd like to add to the list of things and situations I mentioned earlier - for some, happiness is giving happiness to others.

And that makes all the difference in the world.
