Everyone wants to find happiness in their life, whether it is in romance or in work. The persuit for happiness is a never ending one. Yet most of the time, we are like blind bats moving from one spot to another. Some of course would also go into the situation where the blind follow the blind. When you think that person can lead you to happiness and yet ironically he may not be happy himself, then thats what I call the blind leading the blind.Buddhism says that True happiness is liberation from suffering. Sounds very obvious right? Christians says True Happiness is to seek Salvation in Christ. Sounds very logical is it not? But if so then why so many Buddhist and Christians are not happy? Do not get me wrong when I say this. I have due respect for the Buddha and Jesus Christ, also I believe some of the followers really found happiness. But what about us? People who are just looking for something a little less complicated?
Then the answer we have to start to reflect. What will make us happy? Is it money? Is it love? Go search for it then if it is so. It is sick to tell someone, I want happiness in money, but I do not want to work so hard. Face it, this is LIFE. If we cannot understand this rule, we will never find the way to happiness. Liberation from suffering must come from recognizing that life is suffering. Also Salvation is to recognize Jesus teaching is the Path back to the father's mansion. So Happiness is from recognizing that we have to persuit what we want. When we get it, we are happy, even though it may not be eternal bliss but we are happy. You can never get happiness just by waiting. Even if you want liberation or salvation, you have to walk to register with the local church and temple is it not.
Moving on is the important factor that will determine whether you can find happiness. Always standing for things to happen will not make things happen. Even though I may not be happy completely but I know if I take even one step, I have already draw myself closer to happiness. So start to find your happiness now.
