Those who commit suicide have their reasons to do it. They feel themselves at the precipice of an abyss. They sense humiliation and confusion about their future path and they get frustrated with the environment they live in.
SHAKESPEARE ONCE said – “How bitter it is to see happiness through another man’s eye.”
Suicide is the prelude to bitterness; suicide is associated with helplessness and depression. These emotions are compounded with sadness, anxiety and anger. Those who commit suicide have their reasons to do it. They feel themselves at the precipice of an abyss.
They sense humiliation and confusion about their future path and they get frustrated with the environment they live in. Sometimes they feel angry about their ethical, cultural and religious set up. They want to change everything and end up realizing that they can do almost nothing. Rejection is the first step towards total destruction.
Unhappy people avoid happy situations. A depressive individual is a perennial and contagious source of negative thoughts. These individuals are vulnerable to the mercenaries of death and destruction who maneuver and exploit their miserable situation in the name of spiritual ways to ultimate success.
On the contrary most of the happy people are easier to work with. Most of them are highly motivated and more willing to tackle a difficult project. They are more likely to be successful.
For a normal human being it is easy to equate with someone who is always up than someone who is always down. No one likes the company of the dour, morbid and morose. No one wants to work with a grump.
However, can anyone say for sure that happiness is a natural situation or can anyone control their own level of happiness?
An old friend was visiting a dying man. The man on the death bed said, “I’ve created a lot of confusion above-the-ground and now I’m going underground.” Even the grieving relatives couldn’t control the smile at the efficacious use of the word – underground.
“What is the hallmark of happiness?” The simple answer is – a sense of SUCCESS. A survey revealed that happy people appear to be more successful than their less-happy peers in three primary life domains – work, relationships and health. Happy moods appear to lead people to seek out others and to engage with the environment at large, to be more venturesome, more open and more sensitive to other individuals.”
Most people who are miserable seem eager to share their misery. But there is another breed of people who are chronically happy. They are insensitive to real situations. Often you find them laughing at funerals and making fun of those who flunk in exams. They pop up Colgate smiles near the intensive care units of hospitals.
Happiness is good but there is no royal road to the perfect life. There are times when nothing seems to work out right. Tides turn against a happy person also and to remain exultant and jovial in times of pathos is a sign of an unhealthy mind.
