Happiness where IS IT?
So before giving my views on happiness and why most of the people aren't still able to find happiness and be happy. I would like to ask you to put a question to yourself and think for a moment, what is the source that gives you this eerie feeling like butterflies in your stomach. Well, whatever object or action that gives you this feeling is what makes you happy.
Everyone has a different source of that eerie feeling. An action which gives one person the feeling of oneness and wholesomeness compulsorily need not be the same for another person. Again here perspective plays a great ROLE. Perspective comes into the picture here as in how an individual views a situation on the basis of whether or not it gives him happiness. Human beings indirectly tend to see everything from psychological perspective. That is when an individual decides to do an action he or she is not directly concerned with but is instead concerned with the end result that event will give. That event or action is just the medium through which the person will get the feeling of happiness. For example, If there is a certain game which you enjoy to play a lot on daily basis, the game is not in itself giving you happiness but the action of playing it does give you momentarily joy. Here, the moments you enjoy while playing the game is what is making you happy in reality.
Other than that One person's source of feeling happy need not be necessarily another person's source because as human beings we all differ from each other, talk differently, walk differently, think differently etc. Due to this there is a high possibility of people's ideologies conflicting with each other. Its just that people have to understand and adjust each other's individual needs and there will be way for peace and harmony. All in all only you, yourself have the power to make you happy, though the stimuli to happiness maybe due to external things, however happiness due to that stimuli still comes from the within. Hence, if you want to be happy intrinsically, external stimuli will work as a medium in that goal however, if there is no feeling only to be happy from the inner self then no amount of external stimuli can make a person happy. As a wise man once said "Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you chose to be happy."
