Why the mad chase??

In our maniacal rush for success, which we assume will give us happines, we actully forget that every moment is happy, provided we recognise the happiness.Attitude does not bring success....Attitude is success!!!
Any day could be the last day of our lives.Why die in regret.I guess the purpose of our life should be to learn everything possible, learn about people,history,science,arts..... and spread the love and happiness to as many people as we can.There are a million children who do not even get to complete their primary school.The craze for marks at the school-college level has been supplanted by the craze for small bits of paper they call money.I was talking to a doctor at my mom-dad's wedding anniversary.He talked about the rise in stress levels that lead to fatal cardiac arrests. Almost 80% take some kind of pills.. Blood pressure, diabetes etc before sleeping.And after a person's death, there are so many arguments , litigations and sometimes murder , in a mad craze f or money.
Imagine the pathetic condition we have forced ourselves to be in.A person can not sleep.A person can not rest in peace. It is not that today the world, the external pressure has lead to stressful lives.It is we ourselves, our attitude, that has brought stress into our lives.
As you travel in train, you come across so may people on stations, children begging, people with disfigured limbs , naked children picking up rags.Out of frustation and sheer disgust, we give them a 2 rupee change.It is just our luck.Probably, in our previous birth we were among them, who knows.it is just a chance.Our existence is a one in infinity possibility. There our a billion people in this world... Our parents could have been any two in this one billion but why are our parents our parents? ... out of a million points, the genes chose to cross at one point to give us our individuality. they could have chosen any random point.
We compare ourselves to our friends, our peers, each one wanting to be the best.But being the best is like a local maxima.Infact, any maxima or minima , on this curve of earth , is a local maxima or minima , not global.Further more, there is not one curve , there are an infinite number of curves that fill the space.Also, the space itself is infinite.
If we crave for happinees and success, we must realise that Bill Gates or Steve Jobs George Bush are not the people who are successful.Each one , each human being is successful, because they are living the wonderful dream called life....

Yes, I totally agree with you on this topic.Actually, this word spelled L.I.F.E. is a saddist.

If one wants to be happy, remain happy (I say again, "Ignorance is a Bliss!"), it won't let one be Successful..... and Vice-versa..

Nice post!!! I like people who analyize....
