Happiness

What is Happiness? 

I am Happy

Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions. It reminds me of the dialogue from Matrix.

Agent Smith : Did you know that the first Matrix was designed to be a perfect human world? Where none suffered, where everyone would be happy. It was a disaster. No one would accept the program. Entire crops were lost. Some believed we lacked the programming language to describe your perfect world. But I believe that, as a species, human beings define their reality through suffering and misery. The perfect world was a dream that your primitive cerebrum kept trying to wake up from. Which is why the Matrix was redesigned to this: the peak of your civilization.

How do u define Happiness?

Happiness = health + money + social life + meaning

Where health = Nice Sleep + Good Diet + Regular excercise.
and Money = Your Income + Your Investements
and Social Life = Good Friends + Fantastic Family + Good Behaviour of the People around you + Less hassle

and How exactly you define the meaning of your life? Its all in your state of mind. When you serve a purpose in this world larger than yourself, you experience the sensation of having meaning to your life.

Life has both Happiness and Sadness(or unhappiness or in a milder form “wanting more happiness”)

Life + (Something that makes you happy) = Happiness
Life – (Something that makes you happy) = Sadness

On Solving you Get

2 x Life = Happiness + Sadness
Life = ½ Happiness + ½ Sadness

Proving that Life has both happiness and sadness in equal parts

On simliar lines I would like to show you a wonderful add...

Life is precious..

On the way to office today, I noticed that a water tanker had run over a person today morning near Gachibowli 'Subway' region. What a tragedy, the employee family suffers now, I found out that he is an Infosys employee. Who is accountable to prevent this fatal road accident tragedy on roads , law enforcement, RTO (make sure only the ones who can drive well are license), or the road users, or all of them need to do their bit for safer road, what’s wrong , or what’s right not happening ? Something needs to be done; the developed countries brought it down by law enforcements and good infrastructure (for example, I do not see any pedestrian crossings anywhere on the roads in Hyderabad). Unfortunately, We (Indians) have reached to a state where we not just ride on the vehicles on road but ride on our luck too!

Overall the trend is alarming; India is the #1 in road deaths: http://bit.ly/OXH7I

Life is precious and the present day pressures are taking away few of our nerves while driving. Let's not be engulfed by those false pressures. At the max, we might be 10 mins late to office..Lets appreciate the value of life and drive safely.
