Self Defination

Are you rich.Are you poor.Are you happy.
How do you define rich or happy.
Maybe to you, having 1 million is rich.
On other hand, maybe its only average to others.
Different people define things differently.
And its the root to your happiness.

Compare two person.
A person who yearns for the best for everything.
A person who yearns for self sufficiency.
Who would be more happy then the other.
You can see it yourself.

Best.
Whats the best possession you ever had.
Different people yearn for different things.
Sad to say. Nothing in this is world is labeled 'best'.
Because nothing is perfect, things are ever improving.
When you compare what you possess and what others have.
You will realise you have nothing compared to them.
Jealousy sets in here.
Leading to greed which will bring nothing but problems.
Yes. It might serve as a motivation.
A push for people to go an extra mile.
It all depends on the event and players.
Would you make your life miserable,
always yearning for the better,
A vicious cycle of mankind.
Or lead a simple life for self sufficiency.
Its your choice, Its your life.

Heres a story to share.
In front of a field,
There stand a teacher and a student.
The teacher said to the student.
“Walk across the field,
and pick a grass which you think is the most beautiful.
but you are not allowed to look back,
Nor turn back, only moving forward."
So the student did what he was told.
Then he found a pretty grass.
He thought to himself,
“I could find a better grass.”
So he left that grass there and moved forward.
Moments later he found another nice grass.
But he told himself the same thing.
And the cycle carried on.
Not realizing it himself,
It’s the end of the field.
Without a grass picked.

The field is your life.
The grasses are the things you came across.
Be it chances, possession or people.
Story line. Decide for yourself.
