The Monkey Mind

 "...  happiness is the greatest desire humanity has craved to experience .."  An ornithologist may spend days, weeks, and months in a  mosquito-infested humid swamp just to capture a glance of an exotic avian. As such, luck plays a major role defined by his or her redeeming personal qualities and environmental viability that invites or prevents the entry from the much sought avian, leading to the momentous happiness or disappointment/depression for the ornithologist. As no man, woman or living beings are the same, the vocation such as ornithologists, for many is highly undesirable. Yet for a few, such professions is a chance in a lifetime, to understand a niche of the world, just waiting to be discovered. Like any experience, one has so imagined or been through, happiness is one that is the most unforgettably subjective.                                                                                                          (PC:https://www.pinterest.com/pin/14636705662927879

"Happiness is overrated. How could it be? How could it be not?" Look in each and every face visible online on social media or on glossy pages of magazines and newspapers. Beautiful faces with the perfect body of amazon or the chiseled body of Spartan, they are still in vogue. Their charming smile haloed by the “celebritism” still mesmerizes the eyes and ignites the greed to have something similar. They represent the epitome of success.

Cosmetics, apparel, and outer image enhanced with social media like Instagram and Snapchat. They claim they can impart to your happiness forever. There is always competition to be the new hype, author of the next viral item (video or photo) and yet it never seems to end. As long as people know how to gossip as they have been doing since the stone age, the so-c

“Alone we can do so little, together we can do so much.” Helen Keller American educator Helen Keller overcame the adversity of being blind and deaf to become one of the 20th century's leading humanitarians. And she did it with her lifelong teacher and friend Anne Sullivan. Their first memorable moment was when Keller learned to spell "W-A-T-E-R" with the help of Anne.  That beautiful moment opened her to an entire whole world she did not know existed. Here is one of the rare videos recorded sharing their experience together:   Later Helen wrote world-renowned books like The Story of My Life (1905) with help of Anne and her husband, The World I Live In (1908), Out of the dark (1913), Light In My Darkness (1927), and many more.  S he traveled to over 35 countries and changed the lives of millions with hope and courage.

Happiness is a beautiful word with a beautiful meaning; to finally be one with true joy as well be glad to just be alive. It is simple but not so simple.
