So, what can a pursuit of happiness take you to – you can’t imagine the degree to which you can go and stretch yourself and find the real smile on your face. That effusive smile for which you may have struggled for ages and have climbed mountains, burnt the midnight oil or at times have gone completely berserk for that inner feeling of calmness. So, when more than 4.4 million people resign in America to do what makes them really ‘Happy & Contended”, it means something.
The inner jolt that may
have prompted them to go for the final assault and detach themselves knowingly
fully well what they are doing or what could be the repercussions of their
decision. Many have struggle to reach at the pinnacle of their success and
where they are today but found out that ‘Happiness’ is still effusive and a fantasy
– like a mirage in the desert which makes you run miles and on reaching the
particular spot, you find not a drop of water!
Many of the quitters wanted to do
something of their own – probably the time had come to take the plunge, many
others were bored of the daily rigmarole of office life which made them do
repeated things and they seem to be getting dump, still others just wanted to
take a break and wanted to pursue their passion – gaming, trekking, writing,
travelling and other such activities which they had been postponing till
eternity. Many of them have thought of joining happiness and laughter classes
to feel that elusive emotion called ‘happiness’ which God had already given to us,
but we unconsciously buried it under the weight of our falsifying aims and
aspirations!
Covid has greatly leveraged their
business of thought – while humanity has seen unforeseeable deaths in the near
path, that too in developed nations, people’s imagination has started to wander
around that big question “ Is it me for the next time and in the next wave?” –
this question has jolted us many a time and hence the focus has changed to
splurge on the goodies of the universe – many have started to explore new and
unheard opportunities which life could have offered them in their mundane
existence….
Nowadays, you will generally feel
the change in the nature of people, many have gone the compassionate way, or
have started to being more thoughtful, more god fearing and of helping nature
and have turned humane, all these activities and gestures make them internal
happy and they feel the calmness in their soul – or they may have turned God
fearing from – things have changed since
past two years, it is huge change in the mindset of people induced by Covid and
its aftermath.
For many, the adage “Happiness is the greatest
skill that one will ever learn!”, has turning out to be a practical lesson to
emulate – with hovering uncertainties of life, thoughtful souls have started to
do things they always loved. So next time you see someone sitting down in the
park under the sun along a company of tumbler throwing out wave like steam,
beware, he could be a professional who has just take a ‘conscious break’ and
started to think laterally about his life and what he wants to do with it…..for
the rest it would be business as usual…
