Was waiting at an Enrich Salon for a haircut for me and my little nephew (yes guys I take a haircut at Enrich there I said it go laugh now, lolz & all).
Well, like me there was another guy with his small cute girl but was waiting for his wife to finish her haircut. The child was restless so the doting father gave her his cellphone. The child’s joy was radiant as she started playing some game. While my nephew, nearly same age as the girl, was busy in observing the salon. That’s when it struck me, even we are victims like that girl child.
Humans have evolved technologically & daily try to make our lives easier and ourselves Happy. This pursuit of Happiness is evident in.
Movies, Social Interactive Media Platforms, Online games etc..
Average life span has increased but has Average life’s enjoyment…?
Options have become abundant but choices have become blurred. Just think we have so many options be it places/restaurants/tv shows/channels/Facebook/twitter/Instagram and what not. So if we have so much as compared to what we had back then why is it that, we are not happier then we were….
Surveys show that depression is increasing. Hell, we have reached a time where there is the need for such surveys. Happiness doesn’t make you an addict
Eg: we go out with friends we get busy updating it somewhere or taking selfies. The truth is we have forgotten the joy of small things completely.
We need to know that this is all fake we are being manipulated to Think that we are Happy, but actually we are Not.
Truth is…
Rich and powerful lobbies worldwide use various media to keep us busy, think what they want us to think, divert our attention from real issues. Just like The Roman Empires had Colosseum to divert people from issues of hunger , poverty darkness. We have IPL, PFL and what not. An if all fails there’s always racial issues. Because just like that little girl, We too end up falling for what is showed to us.
Like that girl child, we get engaged in it and fail to utilize the power of human mind.
Power to Percept,
To Understand,
To Observe the True Pursuit of Happiness
P.S: If u really want happiness to try this.
Give your seat to someone in a crowded train,
Feed a hungry person,
Walk in the rain and enjoy a cutting Chai, Hug a friend, Help someone, have a good laugh, hold a newborn…
My friend what you will feel, while doing it, at that point in time that’s true Happiness go Pursue that….
