The search engine

Priorities vary with persons. But the goal is being happy anytime, anywhere. No everywhere. In this fast moving world, in the name of competition, post, power, people forget to smile even. The degree of satisfaction is poor. Money has become the sole reason for happiness. Yes, money is necessary to boil food.

But the food that enters the esophagus, should be cherished. Should be respected. Should appreciate the taste. Many people strive hard to eat one meal a day. The almighty should be thanked for what we got, what we get. If one wish to be sad, for no reason he/she can be. Its all about the inclination.

Any law can fail. But not hooke's law.
Feeling exhausted, frustrated, the search for happiness starts. Worst case is searching ways to live happily in google!!. The search engine gives n number of tips. 20 tips to be happy in ten minutes. So in ten minutes, one becomes the happiest person in the whole world?

Take a break. Rather searching in google, see around. Many are happy without luxuries. Nature always smiles, without any expectations. Once reciprocate, it will take care then. Joy is in sharing.

An elderly person, asking for help, to cross the road. While crossing, feeling insecured holds your hand tightly. As the mission is successfully accomplished, shaky hands blesses. As you walk back you hear him telling "cross the road carefully dear". A sense of satisfaction prevails for days. 

A child, in a crowded bus, with no hesitation comes and start talking in his/her own comfortable language, one doesn't understand completely but there lies sweetness. The lovely smile on the face, that day's so called tension is relieved. 

A home, build by a squirrel somewhere near the dwelling premises, with no request, but with the sense of gratitude, leaving a high pitched check in and check out messages. It has its own hectic schedule ahead. Has to fight for food, should feed the young ones, should safe guard from enemies. What not? Problems come automatically. Some times by choice.

Some attain complete satisfaction, pushing others to a pathetic state. A dangerous boomerang. All the back biting mechanisms handled, will pull thy person into the pit. Just like "urubhangam" that happened to Duryodhana. Dispassion towards jealousy is a must, if one wants unconditional happiness.  

Happiness.
This 9 letter word, the world's best feel for any soul.
Infinite number of words won't come for rescue.
A small smile, a loud laughter, silent tears says all.
Still a better search engine is there. The search is within.
