Searching for Happiness....

Read a post on my friend's blog about happiness...

This was my comment:

I know that it has been said a million times...
But Happiness is really contentment...

Realising that we are still alive is a blessing...
Realising that being alive means there is still hope in life...
Realisng that we could be a worse-off position...
Realising that we are already very fortunate...

Talk to a terminally-illed person and he will tell you what's happiness...
Look at the destitutes on the streets of Calcutta and he will tell you what's happiness...
Imagine asking the Jews who died during the holoclaust, What's happiness...
Try asking the 13 year-old Sex Slaves trapped in the brothel in Bangkok...

Every often we forgot that simple things in life is beautiful... and it brings us happiness... Sometimes, we are just been trapped in a rat race, and our vision is obstructed by all those unnecessary pressure and stress....

May be we need to constantly remind ourselves...
May be we need to experience more hardships or setbacks to enjoy the simple things in life...
May be we need to lose something before we realised that we have been living in happiness all this time....
