The lighter side of life

‘Happiness’ – like sand on d shore is made up of many little things. In this fast n furious world, do we ever find time to observe ourselves or d world around us?Everyone wants to be happy….Now tell me what makes u happy?Does ur happiness comes within u or it depends on d subjects/objects surrounding u?A date with dat gorgeous gal, a movie, late nyt party, a chilled beer…………fill up d list goes endlessDoes money make u happy?Money rules – “I’m immensely rich beyond ur reach” (This seems to be d new mantra everyone wants to chant) Friendship, Luv, trust become immaterial b4 money. Money can buy u anything – dats simply d message every new generation banks n everyone holding that most deadly weapon dat kills u slowly – Credit cards, swipe it n forget or compensate it with a bunch of other cards.Borrow more than what u earn, spend it, n become a debtor – dats simply their motto. Now u may argue like its convenient, but u cant run away frm d truth…Happiness nowadays comes with pricetags…But jus think again do they make u happy? Or @ d end of d day u feel exhausted?Now let me draw ur attention to sumthin else okei?Hav u ever watched kids on a merry-go-round? Or listened to d rain slapping on d ground? Ever followed a butterflys erratic flight? Or gazed @ d Sun into d fadin nyt. You better slow down. D world is so fast n time is short…Everyone seems to be rushing….Whn u ask, how r u? Do u hear d reply? Well I’m fine(read it I’m not)Whn d day is done do u lie in ur bed with d nxt hundred chores running thru ur head?Ever told ur child, we’ll do it tmrw? And then in ur haste not see his sorrow?Whn we all run so fast we all miss sthg….Whn u worry n hurry thru ur day…Its like an unopened gift…thrown away….So all u hav to do is find happiness frm within ur inner self.In an age whn television screams for attention n films n reality shows mean more to people than anything else, can we still find simple wonderment n delight frm lifes little joys?The answer is yes we can…All u hav to do is spend sum time with kids. Tell them a story, don’t back off apologizing about incompetence or lack of time. Dig n delve into ur life, d family or even d neighbourhood n get set to spin a yarn! Rest assured its more worth while than speaking to an audience that quite often has cell phones eternally on d ring, incompletely stifled yawns, anxious glances @ d watch n ecstatic applause whn its over! Not always doubtless, but in situations like these u’ll sure yearn for a tete-a-tete with the young!
