Seeking Happiness
24/8/2014
Once, a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker
stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write
his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and
put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon
which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, pushing, colliding
with each other, and there was utter
chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the
person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own
balloon.
The speaker began: This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is
frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our
happiness lies in the happiness of other people. We spread happiness to others
and we find happiness in our life without looking for it.
That is the purpose of human life.
