Happiness.

As I sift through the ground where I am at, and as I gauge the level of it from every angle therein, I feel that I have reached that level of happiness to which no man can take from me.

I have learnt that even the simplest of things could bring an insurmountable amount of joy. Like watching the sun go down the horizon, and feeling the cold breeze seethe through your skin, or hear the sound of laughter of a child in awe --- the feeling it brings is just priceless.

Realizing that the true beauty of life isn’t all about the glamorous and prestigious side it gives, but more of the natural and effervescent vibe it allows man to see and experience, first hand.


There are countless ways to which a person could enjoy life, accordingly. Yes, it is relative; it differs from one person to another. We all are entitled to define happiness, in our own terms. However, at times we find ourselves debating for the wrong reasons. Wrong, in a sense that, we attain happiness in the most superficial manner; and we get the other side of the real message. And we’re bounded to be fooled by it. In the end, we find ourselves grieving about the things we thought could make us happy, but instead it loomed to be the other way around.


There are things in life that seem trivial; people ignore them, but sometimes, or more often than not, these are the incidences that are more than your money’s worth, or your big promotion, or your newly bought clothes --- it’s the littlest of things that matter. And believe it or not, they are the ones that make a man happy, in the most unadulterated way.



So, take a step back, assess where you at, know what could make you contented, re-breathe everything and then go back to basics. It would help you in ways you’d never imagine. And just take everything in stride; unshackle yourself and be human enough to be happy. Simply. :)
