My concept of happiness

A sweet today calls for nothing but enjoyment and relishing of it. My concept of happiness lies in enjoying anything and everything that comes forth. That makes one find happiness in very small things like seeing the shades of the horizon at sunrise, smelling a beautiful rose in the garden, seeing a baby's smile, relishing my favorite dish or may it be even playing hopscotch with one's younger sibling. Indeed there's so much happiness while having a hot cup of tea on a cool morning, or to meet one's best friend or even helping one's mother in her chores. There is a lot of happiness even in enjoying games, studies and work by one's own will. Pessimists say that sorrow has uncountable forms but they fail to realise that happiness has even more manifestations. By enjoying all the aspects of life, we become happy, and this in turn, develops a positive outlook towards life. This happiness also doesnt stop us, but in turn, boosts us to work harder, be more focussed, and by default...to be happier. Life is a gift given to s by Him, and we shall be using it to the maximum only when we enjoy everything that it offers.

Afterall, God is.. of small things !

i am sorry but i can't believe how one can have such a pessimistic approach towards happiness. Happiness is earned by us, not by doing anything small or big, but just by enduring sorrow. your post seems to say, though superficially and vaguely, that one must enjoy anything that is thrown at you. you cant eat your fav dish everyday, or see a baby smile at you daily... there are some days you need to go hungry or a baby poops on your favourite pair of jeans. now please, try to enjoy this, my friend, i suppose you see some sorta manifestation in this as well.

I do take in your opinion, Gaurav, and thanks for that.
My only point to elaborate was to live life as happily as possible. Of course all good things don't happen everyday and there are days when it all turns against you. What I want to say is, don't clutch that day and waste all the good ones.
I've seen people sulking after break-ups and they just refuse to be happy again. It's for such losers that this blog's been written.
