True Happiness

“What makes you happy?” did someone ask you this question or ask yourself? Sometimes the things you most afraid are the things that make you the happiest.  According to Aristotle Happiness is not a state of mind it is a way of life where it can be achieved and assessed in life time. In these days people don’t know the true meaning of happiness; why? Because admit it or not people in this generation find their happiness in material things just like technology and wealth. Happiness can be found in small things, just like a lover giving you chocolates and flowers for your monthsary, a person texted you saying “I miss you” or just greeted you “Good morning”, some find happiness looking at people’s suffering and seeing someone getting hurt. Those are one of the things that makes us happy, but the question is does these things makes us really happy that you can say that you’re complete? Some will answer yes, some will say maybe, but some will ask “what is true happiness?” as a person we all have our own definition of happiness but the truth is the source of real happiness is in one's own inner self and not in the outside world. We equate happiness with the world of external thingsand that is why there is a scramble for acquisition and accumulation of things. The fact is that these things are, at best, no more than the means to achieve happiness and not happiness itself. One can experience happiness even without them.

In this time it is hard to define the happiness to real happiness because the world is covered of desired to material world and forgot the true meaning of happiness as our standard of living has serves to increase our dependence on others and to that extent has removed us further from real happiness. That is why the standard of living of all the countries is not uniformly high and presents an unpleasant contrast. Those who possess more are anxious to extort more and more from those who do not possess much. The result is naturally conflict between man and man and country and country. The fear of this conflict has become a nightmare for the modern man.

 we have assumed that increase in material prosperity also means the attainment of happiness is neither quite correct nor so self-evident. This assumption is true only up to a certain limit and the more we transgress this limit the more remote become our chances of being happy. Therefore, I do not suggest that ambition and or high aspiration should be discourage, only that man must live by his faith and the above truth and won’t base the true happiness in the outside world we should always remember happiness is within our hearts, It is not seen in material things nor can be bought anywhere else because only by virtuous activities determines real happiness can be attained
