Happiness

When i look around me, I see people scurrying around with the sole purpose of earning lots and lots of money, which they think will lead them on to the path of happiness. This probably are not sprinting behind happiness, but are just running to earn moolah and survive.All i ask is it necessary that they have to scurry that fast. Is it real that they will be crushed by the rats that follow or is that all of us have so grown to fear the rat race,we just accept it blindly.

All that money probably is not even necessary. The last 'n' number of times i laughed my guts out, was euphoric to the point of insanity, and felt happiness flow through my veins , it was always wither when i was surrounded by friends who cracked probably the stupidest of jokes, jokes which an average person would find at most moderately amusing or in such simple stuff as a good piece of music or raindrops splattering all over my face . it did not involve any of the minor material belongings i possess nor did it involve any milestones that set me onto the mindless pursuit of cash and assumed happiness. in fact if anything the stuff i possess like a mobile phone seem in most cases to be more of a hindrance than any genuine help

You may think it is a fucked up world and that i am naive and stupid to muse abt happiness in the simple things, but isnt it better that i remain naive and stupid and enjoy these things then run real hard, beat every post there is to beat, earn a lot of money and yet get fucked by the world. and also in the process miss out on the sweet smell of the rose plants that lined the path i was running on.
