Last weekend, I watched a movie — Into the Wild. This movie is based on the true story of the adventures of a young man Christopher McCandless. This movie is completely different from a typical Bollywood movie, which touched my heart. Christopher has just completed a college degree, but is not happy with his parents and the materialistic world. He donates all his savings and leaves the house without telling anyone. Over the next three years, his adventures take him to several parts of USA. During this time, he never calls back his family. In the end, he goes to Alaska to live alone in nature, where he dies because of illness and starvation. Before dying, he writes — Happiness is real when shared.
If one wants to be happy, he/she need not run away from family. One need not go to Jungle or Himalaya to find peace and/or happiness. Happiness can be found everywhere including in one's home. Mahatma Buddha also said once that what he found after leaving his wife and kingdom could have been found while living in his home.
So let us try to be happy wherever we are and whatever we are doing...
