Do not underestimate the importance of small happiness

Another year is leaving us.  People are starting to calculate it.  Where did you go and where have you reached?  It is not necessary that we get everything that we were aiming for.  It is also not necessary that you should be drowned in the pit of despair over your failures.  We may have fallen short of the target in the assessment of the year, but we have achieved what we have done and above all, we have matured more than before.  So why mourn what did not happen!  Why not celebrate what happened?
It is true that sometimes despite everything, our mind falls into the abyss of hopelessness and despair.  Because of this we feel that we are not happy.  But should this be the biggest reason?  There are many shortcomings in our life.  What we wanted didn’t happen.  It is not a big deal to get caught in unintentional despair in the atmosphere, especially at this time.  In this way the grip of dissatisfaction and despair starts to get stronger.  We begin to think of this beautiful life as a burden.  Whereas life is worth living in any case.
No matter how difficult life may be, our life found in nature gives us reasons to smile.  Nature has sent us with so many emotions – love, affection, kindness, compassion, affection, joy.  Are we using all these expressions?  Are we bringing them to life?  To make our life meaningful and enjoyable, we have to put these expressions to work.
Our success may depend on some goal, but our life is not the ultimate goal.  Life is about laughing and laughing, feeling and maintaining a little sociality.  Our neighbor’s son has started working in a good company after studying and writing.  He mostly works from home.  I have seen him working on his laptop continuously for several hours.  closing the room.  Seeing his dedication, I am sure that he will be achieving all his objectives.
But he doesn’t talk to anyone.  His mother makes breakfast for him every now and then, stands outside the room and keeps knocking on the door.  After a long time he opens the door for a moment and then closes it.  I never saw him sitting in the open air outside the house, even for a moment in peace.  He doesn’t need any kind of obstacle.  Even in someone’s misery or illness, he avoids moving anywhere.  He no longer seems to be of his equal level.  Your neighbourhood, your big house too.
This is the reason why he has taken a rented house on the twenty-fifth floor of an apartment, far away from this area.  While he has his own house.  He is achieving his goal, but is he achieving life too?  A lot of parents want their son to get a big amount as salary.  But can life be weighed with money?  Don’t let a hefty salary take a person away from life itself!  The minimum human behavior and qualities in a human being cannot be attributed to a hefty salary or financial income.
Man is a social animal.  Antisociality fills us with depression and depression takes us to the pit of despair.  So there is no need to grieve or be disappointed if our target is left behind.  We have family, friends, neighbours, people to talk to, gardens around.  We just have to find a chance to spend time with them.  Then we can see how the despair of our mind evaporates and turns into happiness.  We are losing precious moments of life in searching for great reasons to be happy.
Engaged in shopping for happiness.  But alas, happiness is not found in the market.  Are all the people wearing branded clothes and driving in expensive vehicles even happy?  Actually, happiness is found even in small things.  Someday sit in the park and watch a child.  He also takes great pleasure in playing and catching his partner, running after a butterfly, catching the ball.  Don’t underestimate the importance of small joys.  Then all the ugliness of the mind, all the despair will vanish.  And then see how beautiful this world seems!
