Be happy! It is your right and duty as well.

Often people feel unhappy and frustrated, blaming others for their condition of unhappiness an sorrow. To be unhappy you can find numerous reasons, ranging from traffic on roads to the loss of someone dear-to-heart. Usually we tend to seek the source of happiness in external entities; we are always searching for that center of happiness...wanting to try out that new restaurent, get that new car, spend time with that person and what not. The endless-ness of this search ( which is referred to as un-ending chain of desires) proves the presence of happiness, in its entirety, inside us. Its has been discovered by anyone who has tried, that we can BE happy and not BECOME happy.

As living beings we are a part of the nature, which is an harmonius and brilliant manifestation of a yet-to-be-discovered source of energy. And by this fact, our existence has a right to be as pure as the first drop of rain, as sweet as the song of sparrows, as musical as a waterfall, as beautiful as a flower and as fulfilled as the nature itself. But then why is humankind becoming more and more of an exception, even after proving itself as masters of nature.

The civil society teaches us to enjoy rights that are given, along with the fulfilment of some duties, in order to be a healthy and contributing part of the society. Similar is the case with nature. Its our duty to be happy, irrespective of what the circumstances one is in. Yes , it is our duty, and this dutifulness provides us with the privilige of exercising our right to happier living.

It may be sounding totally absurd, but just think upon it for one minute, it will open up in front of you. Why should I deny myself happiness, if I am presently not making enough money.. I was born on this earth without a penny and will leave all of my life's earning here only. Whatever I get ( or I dont get) should not come between happiness and me, because I had nothing to loose.. except my happiness. Why should I turn away from smiles if I have lost my dearest friend. This departure should not leave us in sorrow as what has ceased to exist, should not overshadow what is existing. Why should I be unhappy with my disease, when I know being unhappy serves no better than making me even more sick...and if I be happy I can face the days of my existence with a smile on my face and the spirit to live.

If we are dutiful in being happy with whatever we are, whatever we have got, and start looking at life in an attitude of gratitude, the universe will provide us with our right to be more happy.. more rich.. more healthy...more powerful.
