Or books for that matter....
Watched a video talk on the Path to Happiness....which is FREEDOM. It took a little digesting, but the key message at the end of the day, is that one is always free to be happy.
Your happiness should not be tied to external circumstances. And should you know the result of an action (e.g. sadness/tears), why do you still persist in doing it.
A prime example would be heartwrenching drama serials. It gives you loads of heart ache and tears, but humans seems to be drawn to it nonetheless....it is your choice, and you knowingly choose something that would make you sad. Does it make you happy to cry???
The above rule applies to a lot of things in our lives. We choose actions/things that would make us sad, and than complain that we are not happy.
Maybe the simpletons in our society are the happiest people around. Because they have no concept of choice, or even sadness. They are not restricted by the labels and expectations in society to determine their laughter and joy.
What would I give to be like them.....
