Happiness for Everyone

What is happiness to you? Everyone will have their own answers for that.

            Happiness for me is when you have everything that you need in your life. What we need and what we want is two different things. But sometimes, people can’t separate those two and become greedy. When you know what you need more than what you want, you’ll find the true happiness in this life and more important, you’ll become a wise person.

            The first happiness in this world is when you still have both of your parents. We need them more than anything in this tough world. No one can change their place in our hearts. Sometimes we didn’t thank for having them and even we sometimes arguing with them because we think they don’t understand us. But think again. They know the best for us because they know us more than anyone else. We should be happy because we have our parents. Over 3 million children in Indonesia want to be in our place and feel the love of parents, but they can’t. So now, start thanking for your parents in your prayer.

            The second happiness is when you have roof over your head. That doesn’t matter whether your house is small or big as long as you can make it into a home sweet home that you’ll miss every time you are away. Some people, even when they live in a super big house with fancy things in it, they can’t find their happiness. Why?  Because they are busy to fill their house with fancy things and forget to spend time with their family and they are not thanking for what they have. They keep looking for what they need – fancy things for their fancy house – and forget what they actually need. What they need is to create home in their house by spending time together. Many people sleep in the road at night because they don’t have house. So, thank for the roof over your head.

            The third happiness is when you have enough food. I don’t say rich because money is not your main happiness in this world. Money can make people become evil. Many people in this world are starving while we are busy wasting our food and not feel guilty about it. Since we are a kid, our parents have told us not to waste our food or else they will cry. Now I realize that it is not the food who cry but people out there who can not taste what we eat today and we are just wasting it. Be thankful for you can eat today. Not everyone can eat like us.

            Sometimes we don’t realize that these simple things are what keep us happy until today. So, be thankful for what you have today because when you are thankful, you’ll find your happiness.
