Are you the Creator ?

Are you happy in life ?
You are single, living in a rented house alone or on share basis with a friend.
You eat out everyday because you are not with family and there are no good cooks available.
You look great dressed up in branded jeans and T-shirt, you take pride in your latest handset. You burn the road on your 150CC mobike.
But are you happy in life ?

Recent studies have shown that happiness cannot be related to money, wealth or a high life.
Will you not totally agree with these findings ?
I certainly will NOT.
A homeless wanderer cannot be happier than you. A person who struggles daily to catch last 10'O clock bus cannot be happier soul.

Taking these axioms into account one can come to a conclusion that basic amenities, money and a decent standard of life does make a difference in how happy people perceive themselves. But this relationship of happiness with wealth is not linear. It also not possible for me or anyone to form a graph that can show existence of a definite relationship.

The cost of happiness is not much though.
The most conspicuous sign of happiness is a warm smile and a hearty laugh.
Both are possibly the easiest things to induce, not just in others but also in yourself.

Aren't you creating happiness in the person you are making smile.
Indeed you are, and you are creating happiness from nothingness.

So next time you feel depressed, remember you have many reasons to smile and more to make others.
You create happiness, you are the creator.
