Happiness is a feeling that can come from variety of experiences. No man is ever completely happy no matter how healthy, how lush or how successful a life he is living .Ignoring all the things he has been blessed with, he focuses on the things that he doesn’t have and in this developing world where every other day there’s a new invention, a man can’t just get enough of it.
‘IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT WE WANT,
ONCE WE GET IT WE WANT SOMETHING ELSE’
A man expects more from the people around him. Once he does good to someone then he expects good as well. It does not necessarily mean that the other party would treat him the same way as well. One can only help oneself. Having faith in oneself and remembering the fact that “you are your own friend”. This means no to expect less from oneself. It means not to live on the quote ‘do good have good’ but rather living on the quote ‘do good, feel good’.

In the society we live in we want to feel accepted by others, we forget about our own likes and dislikes and follow the likes and dislikes of people we like, just so that they have a good impression of us. You being what you are not makes you feel deprived. The thought of not being accepted by the society just because of the colour of your skin or the fats on your body makes one shiver to the bone. Learning to accept oneself and forgetting what society has to say about one because “you being you is more beautiful than you being what you are not.”
‘IF IT MAKES YOU HAPPY, NO ONE ELSES OPINION SHOULD MATTER’
Our desires have no boundaries, they change every now and then and are replaced by new ones and therefore there is a lack of satisfaction. Until a man is not satisfied he cannot be happy. A man desires MORE he WANTS MORE and this appetency will not keep him happy. He envies others for the lavish lifestyle they possess. His endless desires and egos are never satisfied. People change, their priorities change, their expectations change. Accepting who you are just might be the best course of action.

A man is never grateful for what he has, if he has a bicycle today he would want a motorbike. If he possesses a motorbike, he would want a car. If he end up owning a car, he would want an airplane.
The Prophet (PBUH) said that, “If a man were to possess a mountains worth of gold he would want another one”. In other words, he would never be satisfied no matter what he has.
In today’s world everyone wants to look like their favourite celebrity, ones with curly hair want straight hair and the ones with straight hair want curls. People are going for plastic surgeries, changing the colour of their hair, colour of their eyes and even the colour of their skin. Asian women who have dark complexion are using fairness creams while the European women who have fair complexion are tanning themselves and are forgetting the importance of their own identities. Just foolishly idolizing one another.
The cravings that lighten up inside of a man never lets him be happy. Because he does not try to reduce the hypocrisy inside of him. His desires change, he jumps from one thing to another. Once he lands on one thing, he tends to forget about it and rather hops on to another.

Everything that a man achieves during his life time is a reward, yet he ignores the reward and is ungrateful. How can a man be happy if he is not grateful for what he has?
A man is not completely happy just because he choose not to be. It is the greed and the desire to want even more that leaves one unhappy.
‘DON’T WORRY ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO ARENT HAPPY FOR YOU
THEY PROBABLY ARENT HAPPY FOR THEMSELVES EITHER’
