HAPPINESS AND EXTERNALITIES !!

Many times I have wondered .. why do we feel let down .. by situations, by people - friends , relatives , parents , siblings , spouse ... Is it not expectations ... our dependance on externalities ..on others... is it sustainable .. although I have lived mere 26 years of my life ( which might be less than a second's worth in the expanse of the universe and the dimenations of time and space) yet I feel that whatever I have experienced has taught me one thing .. that HAPPINESS is internal ...Why should we be dependant on anyone else for our happiness ,, will it not lead to anething else but disillusionment .. OUR expectations like our desires are always insatiable and hence will always lead to conflict within because whtever is done will never be enough . SO what is wrong ..its our orientation - Happiness and sadness are a state of mind ... How GOOD or bad life is is how u look at it ...there are no gaurantees in life and rather than seeking gaurantees one should treat everything as a learning experience and move on taking it as God's will - neither being happy nor sad .

    100% true.Your analysis is quite rational and perfect. Very few people can understand life so easily,and you have put it down with ease. Great thoughts...
