Couple of days ago i was sitting with friends discussing about the latest mobile phones.One of them told me "arey mera birthday abhi aa raha hai mujhe gift de na.yeh juna wala mobile bahar nikala to izzat jata hai yaar".....ha ha i told him in ur dreams.Obviously he was kidding.But then i started thinking...what makes people happy??I surfed few sites trying to get a answer.What i found was interesting and also funny in some cases.One site had given a equation to calculate how can we become more happy.....utter nonsense.
Just owning a latest gizmo or a car is what makes people happy?Materialistic needs would always keep on growing,they wont stop.Its the same for all,I had a pc but then i wanted a new laptop.It was like a in thing.We always tend to link over happiness with some thing or other.For eg, someone would say if i get a bike on my birthday it would become the best day of my life.
If i ask anyone what will make them happy what wud be their answer??Money,big house,cars,etc.Will anyone say i want my family to be in the best health,i want my country to progress??Well some people may say it but at the end their wud be some materialistic need.No ones different everybody thinks about themselves first.Its in our genes...nature has designed us in that way.When a leader gets elected to a post he forgets about all the promises he had made to the people.The next time the people see him is at the next elections.The leader makes the false promises for his own benefit.This is a system which we have made...working for our own benefits.If we give happiness to others...some day they might help us too.The thinking of the new generations have to changed,they have to become broadminded in all sense.Its difficult to achieve but it can help us to build a happy society not only a happy individual.The bottom line is "HAPPINESS SHOULD BE WITHOUT CONSTRAINTS"

Happiness can be defined as having the freedom, health and opportunity to do great things for myself and others or being able to do something for someone and not expect something in return.
Well these definitions are very difficult to follow and only thing we can do is to try to follow them.
