Chapter 05: You are your own worst enemy!
You know I have tasted happiness. Sounds weird I know but trust me it was more delightful than an 8pcs chicken bucket at K.F.C. or Choco Lava cake at Dominos.
It's the most satisfying feeling ever, Really!
Have you ever felt like a tickle from inside? Did you ever dance out of joy like a kid without hesitating where you are and your steps?
Did you start grinding your teeth unless you didn't find a right person to express how you feel?
Probably that's called happiness. Oh no, wait that is "Happiness".
Okay, as by now I have got your attention. Do you believe that you can actually taste happiness and burp? See, now we are on the same page.
Seeing the smile on your parents face because of you, haven't you had the same feeling?
When you receive a thank you, "a genuine thank you" look in the mirror your face start shinning.
But, the question arises is if we know the recipe then why can't we cook happiness every day, every moment??
Won't it be so cool if we could just react some chemicals like H2SO4 with LO2 with some catalyst agent and put the resultant in the test tube for fermentation for a few days and enjoy the rest of our lives happily ever after?
Hahahaha Funny no?
Well, a step further I have decoded the formula for happiness and just found out the evil villain guy.
"Expectation" yes! This is what which ruins everything.
Have you realized why we get happy if we have a buy 1 get 1 free coupon?
Because we didn't expect.
Didn't you enjoyed the most in the "Happy Hours"? No matter you pay by cash or Paytm
The moment you act selflessly without thinking about the good or bad outcomes and the result turns out to be even just above average you jump out of joy because you didn't expect! Right?
Remember the scene when you purchased something and tend to leave the shop but shopkeeper calls you back to return some amount. You did felt good. Didn't you?
The deal is when we do something just because we are supposed to do, just because that is your moral responsibility.
The results seem satisfying as you didn't set any benchmarks or standards you just do it.
The moment we act selfish or think about future we build expectations and future is uncertain my friends do not rely on it. I repeat do not rely on it.
As someone said rightly, "It's not the others who hurt, we get hurt by our own expectations".
So think about it we actually are not happy because we ourselves create barriers, How funny & immature...
