Once a boy became very stressed and sad for many days. Day by day he lost everything, neither friend, nor family support for him and he was also jobless . One day he sat near a park - a gentleman asked him - Why are you stressed? Search for happiness, then that sentence strikes in his mind, Yes! let me search for the happiness. He met one of his old friend and he said - Chill dear, let's have some wine, you will forget everything. Then he joined him and after some moments he slept .

Next morning when he woke up, he said to himself - What am I doing? The drinks cannot give me happiness. Then the very next day he met another friend, he advised - Don't worry, make a girlfriend. Your every moment will become full of happiness. Then the boy proposed a girl, she did not say no but said it's OK we can best friends after that we will think about it. The days passed and the boy totally fell in love with that girl. He started doing everything for the girl - even a part time job to fulfill the little demands of the girl. Time passed and some miss understanding was created among the lovers and then the girl left the and got married to another boy.

Now the boy was totally helpless, moving alone here and there. He said to himself - Is money everything for a person? Then he worked hard and did overtime to earn money. He purchased a house, vehicle and other essentials but felt helpless due to failure in love and he could not trust any other girl. He stayed alone and then he realized that money and other materials can not give happiness. Then where is the happiness?

Then some people advised him to learn some mythological book and go to temple to worship God, he will give you happiness. The next day he went to temple and worshipped the God but there are many arguments related to gods. Many saints said different things - they have different type of views. Sometimes the revolts are carried out in the name of God. The boy became confused that to whom he worshiped, who is the real God . The God made by man, God in mythological story or the self declared God. The man was again stressed and left the God and that world. Removed all superstition made by the book and the religious people.

One day while searching Google he found different views of motivational speakers . Some how he felt balanced.

He decided to leave everything, every material, people attachments etc. Go to a silence place, sit one hour, closed his eyes and every incident that happened in his life, came like a film . Then he opened his eyes and tried to summarize .............

The materials gave me tension or I myself. Why am I so stressed? Everything is changeable in this material world, the people, the time and even I .He thought, I also changed from my childhood - I looked very handsome but now my face has changed. Then why am I stressed that everybody is changing. He realised himself - it's me who can give me happiness, not any person, friends, relatives, any materials, money. I have to be happy with whatever I have . People and things will come and go. It's the law of nature. I will not get attached much with anybody or any thing in this material world . I have to stay happy in every situation .... This is the real happiness ............
