Happiness

Well, I just read that "The happiest people don't have the best of everything, they just make the best of everything they have." imho, the most Happiest of people are the ones that seem to get everything they want and never have to make do. Nevertheless, getting everything you want may not always make you happy. Happiness ilIudes most of us sometimes, if only the state of happiness were as easy a conscious decision to be happy, then it would be very easy to just think yourself into a state of happiness whenever you like. From past observation, we as a society tend to treasure the things that don't come easy and unconsciously overlook the simple things in life. Happiness is relative and never constant. For example, a modern man wishing for fresh drinking water doesn't think twice about filling his glass with water from a tap - quenching his thirst doesn't make him happy, whilst this very same man stranded on a dessert safari would be over joyed just to get one bottle of water he needs to survive.

Physical stress ie. lack of rest/sleep, or mental stress, the inability to cope with a certain task, or when reality is far from your expectations can lead to being unhappy.

The solution is simple. Rest. Work. And Play in moderation. Balance is the key to achieving a happier life. They are two sides to every one, dark and light, good vs evil - which is why the most evilest of people can do the most heroic of deeds and the trusted most honorable of people can abuse and defile the most sacred of things. Next time you hang out with someone, observe if you bring out the worst or best in them? Are you the cause of someone unhappiness? or are you the source of someone's joy?
