Happiness is really a state of mind.It does not come along with objects ,which give comfort & pleasure .People who possess many luxuries of life are still unhappy.Happiness comes from satisfaction. If a person donest feel satisfied,he will not be happy.One may be rich but if his riches do not make him contended he will never be happy.If he is just able to make ends meet while another will not be happy even if he’s playing in money.This is because the former is contended while the later is not.
Contentment, therefore ,is a necessary condition for happiness.Education ,in the true sense of the word,will contribute to one’s happiness .An educated man will learn to see things in their proper perspective.He knows which things in the world are of importand & which are the things to which no importance should be attached.He will be able to derive happiness from a number of things around him & he will not allow unimportant things to ruffle his temper or disturb his peace of mind. He will also see other people’s point of view & thus understand them.This will save him a gr8 deal of mental suffering & irritation & contribute to his happniess.
A very important source of happiness is good health.To be healthy is a great blessing & therefore health & physical well being spell happiness.Without a healthy body, happniess would be difficult to find.To be employed in the work which really interests you is also a source of happiness.To be able to do what you really love to do means to be happy.Engage yourself in activities,which interest you.It will contribute to your happiness. Do good things for others & you will derive mental satisfaction from it. When a man does a favour for another, he not only makes the other person happy but he also adds to his own happiness ; Misfortunes come in everybody’s life & they rob a person and his happiness . However there is no misfortune so great that you cannot find somebody else’s misfortune greater than your own. If we only look at others less fortunate than ourselves, we shall be able to forget our miseries or atleast bear them with fortitude. This too is a secrect of happiness.
Lastly we may observe that prayers are a great source of strength & mental peace. They can raise a man to the lofty heights of Happiness.
