Grass is always Greener on the otherside!!

Offlate I realised that each one of us perceptively draw out all the miseries embedded in our pityful and self proclaimed miserable lives and, simultaneously on the other hand, crib over, all the bounties of God bestowed over every other person around us making him or her 1000 times happier then we are. Thats wat I call as "HUMAN NATURE" .

We tend to glorify ourselves by mentioning again and again to ourselves and people around, about the battle we are fighting, by living a life devoid of majority of worldly pleasures thus making us delve in the sea of sadness every now and then, whereas every other person seems to be enjoying the greener pastures of life with problems not even in his vicinity.

However the proverbs came into existence as the translation of the divine words and thus proved to be true in every sphere of life since time immemorial and so is the proverb dat "GRASS IS ALWAYS GREENER ON THE OTHER SIDE".

We are in a habit of weighing happiness in proportion to the materialistic belongings one possess whether its the quick bucks the rich guy makes on monthly basis (the fat pay cheques!!) or the swanky BMW 7 series parked outside the posh Bungalow.The size of single Diamonds in the Necklace and its shine testifys for the happiness of the lady wearing it. The diamond studded Rolex watch makes us believe that its always this man's time who has caged the happier time in his diamond studded Rolex and would never let it go , so that he always remain happy.

His Armani suit will always reflect the bad omen away with its shine and will always prevent from the rough weather. However we tend to forget that all these material things are nothing but a product of the artificial face of the society and its sole purpose is to portray a greener grass for others to be attracted to.To keep them at bay and longing for it. To make them feel inferior and give our Ego's fodder to feed upon and get satisfied.To glorify our status and contribution to the society.

However by no means this illusionary happiness is lasting.It vanishes with time in a short while once we get use to it and also the society around us.Then we tend to take all this for granted and again try to dig out some problem from our self proclaimed disasterly life to crib and at same time praise others. We tend to forget wat we have and also wat others dont have wat we have.....and only remember wat we dont have in comparison to the other people.

Happiness is a dish with many ingredients...........It cannot be simply put in terms of money...The most important ingredient is the health of a person and his family..Without health no worldy pleasure would last....The problem is that we dont realize its value untill weactually fall ill....

Similarily, the harmonious presence of our loved once around us is the other most important ingredient o happiness.....Just imagine having billions of dollars and jewels on a lonely island with no one to show those dollars, jewels or car....Ultimately all are inanimate things which r of no use in isolation and require our people to enjoy it with.But we dont realise the happiness associated with it untill we loose our loved ones.y

Thus we should try to weigh the happiness of others in terms of above parameters to truely estimate the richness of the person....Money is important to fulfill our basic needs of luxury but beyond dat its our health and loved ones that counts.....
We need to cherish wat we already have in terms of above ingredients and should not waste our life cribbing for wat we dont have........Remember Life is too short...Enjoy it to the fullest!!....................and also dat Grass always luks greener on the other side but if u luk carefully towards ur side then you will find dat Grass on our side is green enough to survive on it and lead a happy life!!
