...I believe that most people want to be happy...
... I believe that they work hard at making themselves happy...
...They buy books, attend classes, change their lifestyles, in an ongoing effort to find that elusive quality, happiness. But in spite of all that, I suspect that most people most of the time do not feel happy...
...Why should that sence of happiness be so elusive, eluding both those people who get what they want in life and those who don't?...
...Why should people with so many reasons to be happy feel so acutely that something is missing from their lives?...
...Are we asking too much of life when we say, 'All I want is to be happy'? Is happiness, like eternal youth or perpectual motion, a goal that we are not meant to reach, no matter how hard we are going about it in the wrong way?...
...Money and power do not satisfy that unnameable hunger in the soul. Even the rich and powerful find themselves yearning for something more...
...No matter how hard we work at being popular and no matter how good we are at it, we never seem to reach the point where we can relax and feel we have arrived...
...If our sense of who we are depends on popularity and others people's opinions of us, we will always be dependent on those people... On any day, they have the power to pull the rug out from under us...
...Our souls are not hungry for fame,comfort, wealth or power. Those rewards create almost as many problems as they solve... Our souls are hungry for meaning, for the sense that we have figured out how live so that our lives matter, so that the world will be at least a little bit different for our having passed throught it...
...healty inside and outside is the most powerful in life...
...Zamri Subahat...
