ETERNAL PEACE

 

 

” TOWARDS A HAPPY LIFE ”

 

We live in a close dislocated roofless and transient world where perfect happiness is misnomer.

“The web of life is mingled yarn, good and ill together”. Yet the ideal happy life has never been about from the

thoughts of philosophers and poets. Some of the people say “Virtue alone is happiness below “.

 

What i feel is that man’s happiness today consists in “having fun”. The world is

one great object for our appetite, a big apple, a big bottle etc. We are the suckers, the

external ones, the hopeful ones and the externally disappointed ones.

 

Today we take disprin for headache, a pill to go to sleep, a tabletto wake up, an

alkalizer for an upset stomach and cigarettes, coffee, cold drinks etc to meet various

stresses throughout the day. We seem to believe that these things can meet every need in

life.

 

Modern man has thought that if he could have high living standards, a good income,

a more leisure time, education and the freedom to do as he pleases he would automatically

be happy, and today more people are experiencing these conditions than ever before. But

instead of mental health and happiness, these conditions have led to unprecedented

increase of mental disease and unhappiness.

 

Something is clearly missing in modern man’s pursuit of happiness and peace of

mind. The stress of modern life can be said to lead to mental disturbances and unhappiness.

Times of stress and trial have often bought out the best that is in man. Sweet times can

strengthen character and actually improve mental health. And the reason behind this,

being on positive or negative side is the bringing up of a particular man.

 

Mental and emotional discipline is must for a happy life and it must be learned.

This vitally important trait needs to be taught by parents. But today because of foolish

permissive ideas, relatively few parents teach their children mental and emotional

control. And when the child grows up and is faced with adult responsibilities, it is too

much for him. He cracks under the pressure. This is one of the important reasons why

there is such an alarming increase in mentally and emotionally disturbed unhappy young

people.

 

The Bible says-”light is suouen for the righteous and gladness for the upright in

heart”. A contented and righteous life, based on some set principles away from the world

out all the same in the world only can lead to a happy life. Discontentment is there

due to selfish motives, unvirtuous lives and false ideas about life and happiness.

 

“Life is what you make it we have to work for the work

and take happiness for the wild flower it is.”
