Yeah you heard it right chetan bhagat the writer came to my alma matter as motivational speaker today. Wonder how much people want to motivate us. Though i didnot bother to go there . i was busy watching FRIENDS ,,,,yeah you heard it rite FRIENDS i love it. I heard he was talking about passion wonder .how much passion is right for doctors. Imagine a cardiothoracic surgeon while operating suddenly gets passionate about painting.But on the mess table i just happened to have a candid conversation with a friend about happiness .It was a very light conversation intended just to sit through that tasteless dinner. But then back in the room on a weekend and practically nothing to do it got me thinking what is happiness . Is it a goal that you achieve. Or is it something that is written in your destiny. Is it a state of mind . Yes it is but is it a voluntary state of mind. Can you plan to be happy . Can you decide to be happy . you can just hope. A number of people these days are suffering from psychiatric diseases , majority of them are depression and a few bipolar disorders of mania and depression. So do these people plan not to be happy. Would not be the case everyone wants to be happy ... you see...then why are we not happy...remember those times when we were kids and that one toy given to us by someone would make us gaga. And when we were not kid but still in our childhood that one match we won in cricket would take us to cloud nine for the rest of our weekend..ofcourse girls had their strange ways of being happy Barbie dolls and their strange games.
But now laughing gets difficult . Being happy has to planned. So people have ambitions to make them happy. But think honestly achieving something can make you happy. Can a good future make you happy. May be you didn’t get that one thing you desired .desires is it desires those tantalising desires that make us unhappy or the fear of not getting them or rather still the fear of getting them and losing them because nothing is immortal. mortality is it the fear of growing old which makes us unhappy. Life is a moderate play with a poorly written third act you see....there can be many reasons for not being happy. But there has to be just one reason to not be unhappy{i mean happy i am just playing with the words}and that is to make sure that people around you get to be happy because of you. That thought that you are the reason for so many smiles. No matter how let down you are you push others up thats the whole point of human existence.
Happiness is not something you can plan or desire it can not come with a good future, better present or a beautiful past. Its something that will come to you when you stop being sad. Its when you decide to sleep peacefully stop worrying. So good night . Have a great Sunday and seriously Monday sucks.....
