At the beginning and end of the day, we all want to be happy;
but ask yourself honestly, and you shall discover, you don’t have the final
answer as yet (or, may be you already have!). From birth till death, in the life
of a person, this aspect keeps on recurring, without a final resolution. The truth is; complete happiness is perhaps
attainable only in a state of either complete attachment or detachment from the
externals, and internal interplays; encountered in and during the course of our
conscious transactions as a being. However, it is a desirable, near-attainable
but is asocial and hence; utopian. Personally though, one can have it to varied
degrees through efforts.
The feeling of happiness is relative to what we want and what
we get, constrained by the environment, situations, events and the measure of
our willingness to find it. The infinite layers of happiness that we wear, are
our becoming and own making, to a great extent. This is an individualistic phenomenon
without any finality or limit about it. Each one of us is different from the
other, in terms of its realization and how happy we are in the process. Happiness
is also dependent on our own psychosomatic makeup and is cultivable. It is a
crude and finer aspect of our life. When added up, happiness could be a
collective existential phenomena.
