Every form of happiness is private. Our greatest moments are personal, self-motivated, not to be touched.
How happy are we now-a-days?? Genuinely..is it the company of friends and family that makes us happy? Is it achievement in any sense that makes us happy? Is it getting everything we ever wished for? Is it the birth of new things? Is it a great day? a good night out?lots of booze?(lol)
What is it that truly makes a man happy?
I was watching this movie Last Kiss where the scrubs guy Zack Braff stars..as usual totally over rated movie...but what got my attention in the whole movie was the fact that the guy had everything he ever wanted and it wasn’t enough...the fact that everything was perfect didn’t make him happy...instead he felt saturated and “stuck” . Is that how most of us feel? Cos to an outsider looking into anyone’s life...it looks great..desirable..better than his in every sense of the word..what the outsider seldom knows is that to the man; his life looks like a fun house mirror....skewed..every scene so blown out of proportion that he forgets what the root of the whole problem was in the first place. Gettin back to the movie..hes so stuck that he thinks cheating on his close to perfect(cos there’s nothing like perfect.lol)girlfriend will get him “unstuck” and when he totally screws up everything for himself he wants the old things back!
Why is it the case with everyone that we seldom know how much something means to us until its totally lost.?!?Blame it on the human nature...but that would be blaming ourselves...more like an eight sin that Dante forgot to mention.. so lets blame it on... the rise in terrorism, crime, inflation, sixth pay commission, bad government!!!

you surely pointed out the right people to blame it out on towards the end!!..
Sat-Chit-Ananda (Existence-Knowledge-Bliss)is the highest concept of peace possible to the human mind. Happiness is fleeting.
