Emotion - It is a mental and physiological state associated with a wide variety of feelings, thoughts, and behaviours.
Humans, from the day they are born, learn to express their feelings. From the first touch of the mother, which brings solace to new born baby; to the first smile that crops up on the face when you tingle its feet; to the first cry for hunger; we humans start the journey of emotions.
As a child the number of emotions you experience are pretty restricted. As age grows, it brings with it a wide variety. As life gets complicated, the emotions intermingle and it becomes difficult to summarize what you experience.
I just want to delve into one of them, which I find starts from the day one of our life and lucky are those who experience it the day they die.
Happiness, which used to be a simple emotion, which used to be attained by a 1Rs choclate or a ride on a bike, is often difficult to attain. The perception differs from person to person, the needs differ. Some feel happy to play a mere game of cards, some can only drink and make merry, for some happiness is about crushing others, for some its about sitting at the feet of God. Its as if "The end justifys the means" becomes the motto.
Herein lies the basic problem as people couple prestige, pride, greed, envy, lust, revenge into happiness. Its just not simple as it used to be.
Rarely do people understand that happiness should be like a infectious disease. Unless it catches others you are bound to suffer alone. If the people around you are happy, it only compounds your own feelings. Never does happiness decrease when its shared. You can only enjoy it when people near you experience the same.
Identify it, share it, enjoy it!
Atleast everyday you should be able to say to yourself....
This part of my life... this part right here? This is called "happiness."
