HAPPINESS(1)

 Are you happy? This is not a silly question. Nor is it an impertinent one. It is rather, a very pertinent question. "Laughter may hide sadness, when happiness is gone, sorrow is always there"[proverb 14:13]. The above scriptural quote has kind of explain to us that nothing in this world, i mean this physical world can ever give us a permanent satisfaction. It can only give pleasure for the main time and then your bored of what you have always clamoured for, become bored and unhappy again. No material thing can make you happy permanently, not even the biggest house, the most expensive car, the finest wife, handsome husband, the highest paid job, just name them yourself, any material thing at all that you can think of. Human desires are so unlimited, so numerous that he needs to give scale of preferences. but know that non of this things can give you a long lasting happiness that ever longed for.
                         
      These material world that you so fansy, even the material things in it, you will one day leave behind, immediately you are severed from your physical body, that is the physical death. Remember, from the previous article, it is said that death is just a transition to what is called the beyond. In the nearest future, am going to explain to you what death and birth is all about.
     
       Nothing that we can ever feel, touch, see can give us the permanent happiness that we ever longed for. This world that you see is more of an illusion, like a dream that you will wake up from. Nothing you see will ever remain the way it is, everything will always change form, state. Virtually everything including your physical body.
                               
        Lets take for example the automobile world, the lamborghini venoni, one of the most expensive and probably one of the fastest car in this physical world for now. Just give it a little time, then wait and see what becomes of it. The old beetle car was once the most expensive, adorable and probably the fastest car of its time, but the owner of such cars will never be proud of such cars in our today's society. That is to show that the world of automobile has change drastically from what it use to be.
               
        Another example, observe your physical body, you were once born, so little, innocent, beautiful, cute little baby, then now, you are grown probably an adolescent, middle age or old age. you could see how rapidly you have grown and matured with time, meanwhile YOU yourself do not change [you are a spirit]. Look around you, your environment and you will observed that nothing in this world remains the way it was with time. There was a time the egyptians rule the world, now, Amerians are one of the most powerful nation in the world.

       Now, why am i telling you all this? I want you to know that there are LAWS governing Creation as a whole and this laws pulsate into every part of Creation and this change of form thing i have been talking about is actually a Law pulsating the whole of creation. The Law of Motion as it is called, or you may call it what you may, but it does not change the fact that this adamant, inexorable law has and always take effect. do not worry, i will explain this law in the future, just stay glue to this blog.

       Sorry for digressing a little from the topic. Now, we know that nothing in this world remains the same with time, that means everything you think you enjoy or suffer  now will either depreciate, change, fade, dimish, become less satisfying, less value etc. That means the happiness you will derive is more or less a temporary pleasure feeling, because nothing that is physical can bring you permanent happiness in the real sense.

       Now, the question is: What really makes us happy? If material things can not give us permanent happiness, then what will? You have only need to look around you to see how people try to cover up their unhappiness. people are often too unhappy, depressed and worried, this is not how it should be. Wherein lies the trouble then? I want you to know that if anyone is unhappy, let the person remember that s/he is unhappy by the reason of himself or herself alone "He that is of a merry heart hath a continual feast". Happiness is something that you are. you were made to be happy. Happiness is an habit, just the same nature as LOVE.

       By cultivating the happiness habit your life can be made more enjoyable and worthwhile. Habits are easy to cultivate. Ordinarily, we cultivates negative habits. But happiness is a positive habit that can bring you a happy life. By realizing this simple truth and by learning and utilizing the happiness habit, you can change your entire outlook on life. No longer will you face yourself in the mirror and say: "I want to be happy, but things that happens to me won't let me be happy."

      What happens to you does not have the power to create either happiness or unhappiness. what does create the negative or positve happiness-feeling within you is how you you react  to circumstances. This happiness habit will teach you the one basic philosophy of reacting to circumstances. I guess i have to stop here today. We will finish up with this topic in the next article HAPPINESS (2). stay tune to this blog as i will be unfolding to you mysteries of life and existence. THANK YOU FOR TAKING THE TIME TO LEARN SOMETHING NEW.
