Happiness is a Domino Effect

Happiness, are we pretending? Or is it really there? If we ask, what will it will it take to say I am really happy. 

Simple things like painting with crayons makes kids happy, playing with even things which are around you, readily available at home, makes kids happy.

 It's not about how expensive the toy is. It is about how simple it is for the kids to understand at his age and just be happy with whatever is available. When there is a purpose to live, you feel happy. So do kids too have a purpose to life? If they get all the basic needs satisfied, they will just spend their time happily. But after we grow up, why are things so complicated? Is it that our needs increase? If we go to see, referring to my last post, we all are having someone to pack our parachute, that is, someone is backing us to do all the essentials, so that we can do what is our priority, what we are supposed to do. 

I feel, although happiness is self-driven, our own perception of the circumstances we are in. Yet we are all living in a system, our actions are affecting each other constantly. In this crazy, fast-paced world, we have little control over our life. We are all packing each other's parachutes and it is a domino effect. We lay our lives in the hands of the driver in whose car we are travelling, while we don't even know the person's name or background. 

It may all sound very common, but the truth is our happiness is getting packed by our common actions as a community, as a society at large how we behave. We must all change, act responsibly towards others, take care of the environment, as it all affects every living soul around us.
