Day 210 of wisdom
“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance; the wise grows it under his feet.”
J. Robert Oppenheimer
With the breaking of every new dawn, man rises in conscious, and subconscious pursuit of one very important thing, for which without, there will be no fulfillment, and living will not be an appreciable event. The strong will, and desire to achieve this thing sometimes takes man as far as they could go, so far that they sometimes forget the essence for which they have gone that far. This wonder is called: Happiness.
The pursuit of happiness is a fundamental right of every human being, but happiness as it were is not something to be pursued, but a seed to be planted, nursed, nurtured, and groomed within one's bosom to maturity. Man can find happiness in no other place than within himself, happiness is not outside a man, man has happiness within him, it is only left to him if he would activate it, or leave it there to rust while he seek for what was never lost.
The grass is not green anywhere, but where the ground is being watered. The happiness you seeks stares you right in the eye. Aristotle said “Happiness depends upon ourselves.” if we cannot make ourselves happy, no one else can, we are liable for our own happiness, or unhappiness. We must pay due attention to the things that most gladdens our heart, we must look deeply at the people who makes us attain our best self when we are with them, they are the seasonings to our happiness.
In the words of Benjamin Franklin “Happiness consists more in conveniences of pleasure that occur everyday than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom.” So, draw happiness from the little things in your life, like your family; the food you eat; your ability to see, ear, breath, talk, and walk; and the ability to love, for in these things you will live a happy life everyday of your life.
