Jiyo life full (Funny Ideas/view point)

Dil me tamnanaon ka dabana seekh liya,
Gam ko ankhoon me chiappna seek liya,
mere chehre se kahin koi bat zahir na ho,
Daba ke honthon ko hamne muskarana seekh liya !

Today before you think of saying an unkind word-
think of someone who can’t speak.

Before you complain about the taste of your food-
think of someone who has nothing to eat.

Before you complain about your husband or wife-
think of someone who is crying out to God for a companion.

Today before you complain about life-
think of someone who went too early to heaven.

Before you complain about your children-
think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.

Before you argue about your dirty house, someone didn’t clean or sweep-
think of the people who are living in the streets.

Before whining about the distance you drive-
think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.

And when you are tired and complain about your job-
think of the unemployed, the disabled and those who wished they had your job.

But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another-
remember that not one of us are without sin and we all answer to one maker.

And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down-
put a smile on your face and thank God you’re alive and still around.

Ignorance is the most important cause of sorrow.

Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We live our lives pursuing happiness “out there” as if it is a commodity. We have become slaves to our own desires and craving. Happiness isn’t something that can be pursued or purchased like a cheap suit. In the Buddhist tradition, Samsara, or the endless cycle of suffering is perpetuated by the craving of pleasure and aversion to pain. Freud referred to this as the “pleasure principle.” Everything we do is an attempt to create pleasure, to gain something that we want, or to push away something that is undesirable that we don’t want. Even a simple organism like the paramecium does this. Unlike a paramecium, humans have more choice. We are free to think, and that is the heart of the problem. It is the thinking about what we want that has gotten out of control. The dilemma of modern society is that we seek to understand the world, not in terms of archaic inner consciousness, but by quantifying and qualifying what we perceive to be the external world by using scientific means and thought. Thinking has only led to more thinking and more questions. We seek to know the innermost forces which create the world and guide its course. But we conceive of this essence as outside of ourselves, not as a living thing, intrinsic to our own nature. It was the famous psychiatrist Carl Jung who said, “one who looks outside dreams, one who looks inside awakes.” It is not wrong to desire to be awake, to be happy. What is wrong is to look for happiness outside when it can only be found inside.
