Words on Happiness

-

 Happiness is often seen as the ultimate goal in life, something we all strive for. Yet, its meaning can be different for each person. For some, happiness is found in moments of peace and contentment, while for others, it lies in excitement and achievement. It is a feeling that comes when we experience connection, gratitude, and joy in both the big and small moments of life.

True happiness often isn't something that can be pursued directly, but rather, it emerges when we let go of excessive expectations and embrace life's experiences, both good and bad, with an open heart. It can be fleeting, yet precious — found not in a perfect life, but in our response to the imperfections of it. It's about enjoying the present, nurturing meaningful relationships, and cultivating a sense of purpose.

Ultimately, happiness is a state of mind, shaped by our perspective and choices. It is less about acquiring material wealth and more about cultivating inner peace, love, and the ability to appreciate the simple things in life.

Happiness is Like a Guest - A Simple Thought Inspired by Rabindranath Tagore’s Athithi

-

Happiness is like a guest. It comes into our lives for a little while, makes us smile, and then quietly leaves. We cannot keep it forever, just like we cannot hold on to a guest who must go. Rabindranath Tagore’s short story Athithi (which means "The Guest") shows us this idea in a beautiful way. In the story, a young boy named Tarapada comes to a kind family. They treat him with love, and for a while, everyone is happy. But one day, without telling anyone, Tarapada leaves. He loved being with them, but he could not stay in one place. He wanted to be free. Tarapada is like happiness. He came, brought joy, and left. The story helps us understand that we should enjoy happy moments while they are with us. But when they pass, we should not be sad. Just like a good guest, happiness will come again one day. This teaches us to be thankful for the joy we have, even if it doesn’t last forever.

Be Like a Seed; When Someone Tries to Compress You, You Make Your Way Out

  Life is not always smooth. Many times, people or situations try to hold us back. They try to control us, limit us, or press us down with negativity, criticism, or challenges. But in those moments, we must remember to be like a seed. A seed is very small and weak in appearance. It gets buried deep under the soil. The soil covers it, presses it from all sides, and keeps it in darkness. But the seed doesn’t give up. Instead, it gathers all its strength, grows roots, and pushes upward. It breaks through the soil and comes out into the sunlight. This is the power of patience, strength, and growth. In life, too, when people try to suppress you with words, actions, or by creating difficulties, don’t give up. Build your strength silently, stay positive, and keep moving forward. Remember, pressure can’t stop a seed from growing. And pressure shouldn’t stop you, either. Be like a seed, and when someone tries to compress you, rise above, break through, and create your own path towards succe...

The Few Who Understand

-
Every day, we meet hundreds of people who wish us hello, hi, and bye. However, there are only a few people who can understand us in our lows and highs. In the noise of the crowd, we often feel lost, drifting through faces, but paying the cost. We share fleeting moments, brief as a sigh, yet crave that connection that reaches the sky. Some offer a smile, while others just stare, but only a few truly show that they care. They listen intently, with hearts open wide, inviting us in, letting feelings collide. Through laughter and sorrow, they walk by our side, their presence a comfort, our fears set aside. So let us treasure those who see through the haze, for they are the light that brightens our days.
