No one is born happy. As Erich Fromm said, happiness is not a gift of Gods. It is achieved out of one’s own inner productiveness. He, who executes his role just as child plays a game for the sake play, enjoys the best of the worlds. Unfortunately, as we grow older and wisher it is reported that we often loose that “imagination” with which a child is often found transforming common places into the priceless. We also often watch children ‘being spontaneous. An adult should, therefore, cultivate that “spontaneity” and an air of freshness charged with a gay abandon of rigidity to just enjoy the work.
According to Aristotle, it is the people who, endowed with self- sufficiency and capacity for rest, by using intellect, find happiness in every act of them.”Every normal function of life holds some delight”, said historian William Durant. It is those pupils who cultivate a liking for themselves, of course for true reasons, who succeed in being happy or delighted by even mundane events in daily life. It is often that unhappy pupil who never held themselves responsible for their condition; instead blame their jobs, marriages, or the cruelty of fate. Such people will have to warmth to give either at work or at home, and are destined to be sterile and confused. To overcome these facilities, one needs to achieve a fair measure of harmony with himself and his family circle. The quintessential of being in harmony with oneself is the “affection and understanding of the family”.
It is possible for all of us to sharpen our wits to observe man and nature and realize that the seat of happiness rests in the unique strength and beauty within all living things. A frame of mind of “all in one and one in all” shall therefore pave the way of happiness.
