Happiness

 What is happiness? It sure is not merely materialistic. Undoubtedly, the M tonic is the base of a healthy happiness. That is to say, wealth matters when it comes to happiness. Just as health does. In my opinion, however, neither matters much. I do sincerely think that happiness is more a mental state,a  psychological balance, an emotional condition.

Want proof? Have you heard of Arunima Sinha? Of the Blade Runner? When she climbed the Mount Everest as well as the highest peak in the Antartica, not to forget every other peak in each continent, after losing a leg in a cruel freak accident, she made not only herself or her family-n-friends, but the entire world hugely happy. When he won the Olympics running race despite having mere blades instead of legs, the whole world was ecstatic.

Happiness, in other words, includes a defined goal, sustained and sincere efforts to achieve it, and the unshakable faith that sooner rather than later, you would achieve what the whole world stopped you from attaining. As you need it that desperately, all the positivity in the entire Universe supports you, stands by you. 

Happiness is thus attainment. Never is it mere entertainment. It sure is 'that' goal of life. It resides in small things as well. The russet in the sky before the sunrise, a bird cooing, a bud blooming, your pet wild with with joy at your very sight, a baby babbling, happiness is everywhere.

Happiness is ethical as well. The cruel joy a creep gets by harassing an innocent ruins his entire family. On the contrary, if you are generous despite myriad problems, happiness comes searching for you, forever lingers at your doorstep. Happiness, in brief, is a way of life. No wonder the U.N. decided to dedicate a day to happiness, that is, March 20.
