What has Corrupted the World of Happiness?

Happiness- What is happiness? Happiness is the result of satisfied wants. Happiness is the sense of fulfillment crafted from personal satisfaction. Happiness is the Herculian thing that mankind is ever needy of. If you were asked to list your needs and submit it to God for fulfillment, happiness is the single word which would summarize all your eternal list of needs.

What has corrupted this world of happiness?

It is better to rephrase the question. Who corrupted this world of happiness? The answer is WE! the society, the family, humanity itself corrupted itself from attaining happiness. Since the first day we came to understand the reasons behind the processes in living, our parents said to us that life is difficult, that money is hard to come by, that the government is corrupt, and all other pieces of filthy advices. Add to those the bad news riding the airwaves day by day. Then those soap operas displaying too much crying. The TV characters who are up to ears in tears during their time of distress that we watch. I don't know why do they have to portray life as a state of anguish. All these pieces of crap were stuffed to the minds of every person. So man lived in agony.

A secret to happiness is, don't bother yourself to things you can't change. Let us examine the discussion below.

Interviewer: How do you feel about the children dying of hunger in Ethiopia?
Answer: I'm sad for them.
Interviewer: How sad?
Answer: Very sad.

Now analyze your disposition if you are to answer the question yourself. Are you also sad for them? Hey! wake up! What if you are very very sad , is something done? None! You should have fed them but you can't, so leave them behind. You're just hurting yourself on a cause which could even be assumed as none existent.

The world is made up of three matters. These are matters you can change, matters you cannot change and matters you can do very little to introduce change. I can change my clothes but I cannot change the corrupt government. I cannot also make money to come easily. I cannot change my wife because I don't have one. lol....Of course I will not be changing her if I got married. If you know you can not change something, don't even try thinking of it, or you end up in despair, then you lose your confidence and eventually your self-esteem takes the toll.
