"Happiness", for me, is an attitude. It...@anandable<br />"Happiness", for me, is an attitude. It is different from ecstasy or pleasure..both of which are temporal and the result of certain chemicals triggered in the body.<br />Biochemically, it is nothing magical.<br />But happiness is something u need to cultivate your capacity<br />for.<br />Material success does contribute to a sense of security and an overall feeling of well-being but it is not enough.<br />We are like the pearl oysters, each with a gem hidden inside. Oysters produce pearls by covering an invading piece of grit with nacre (a naturally-occurring organic-inorganic composite.) It might takes years for a pearl oyster to form a perfect pearl...And we might take years before we realise our true selves. For us, the grit could be the several experiences we go through our journey called life. ( personally, I believe there has to be a state of existence beyond that..but it's out of the scope this discussion right now)<br />It could be the knowledge that we are valued, treasured for what we are or for what we can contribute... the mere acknowledgement of our efforts goes a long way to bestow peace of mind.<br />But even these make happiness a dependent variable.<br />Real happiness should be free like a bird and it takes considerable strength of will and years of introspection to know the true "ME". Hindu philosophy calls it "Brahma-gyan".. the absolute knowledge.<br />When we are seeking "materialistic pleasure in this "Mayavi" world" (to quote you).. we are actually trying to find meaning to our existence.<br />An attempt to satisfy the eternal question -"what is the meaning of life?"<br />Our constant effort to leave a mark, to make a difference is our quest to find that meaning ...<br />So here I go, posting another post in my comment box.. those who have not fallen asllep while readin gthis, I 'd like to have a feedback from u...<br /><br />PS. I am committed to an ideology, why does everybody think it has to involve a guy ?<br />TAATKA= "fresh or newly grown" in BengaliAparna Gangulyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08145595106647499958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-57680784350865204022006-11-26T01:00:00.000-08:002006-11-26T01:00:00.000-08:00u are simply amazing....i love your philosophy abo...u are simply amazing....i love your philosophy about happiness...sometimes i wonder whether we are seeking happiness or just materialistic pleasure in this "<i>Mayavi</i>" world.anandablehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00240580136491822240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12934803.post-9649695770503494252006-11-24T21:45:00.000-08:002006-11-24T21:45:00.000-08:00@anonymous
