When a new life comes into the world, actually he owns nothing originally: no money, no girlfriend, no friends, nothing in the world belongs to him. Thus when a life comes to end, he will lose everything he owned in the world, but it is unnecessary for him to feel regrettable. As a Buddhavacanca goes not a thing originally, why does the dust alight? Money is such a thing that you did not bring with the world when you born and you cannot take away with when you left. If you have, just a little, you should feel happy for it; if you have no of it, actually you did not own it originally, why should you feel sorrowful?
Actually whether you will feel happy or not just decided by your attitude, you will be happy no matter you are sick, poor or even at the time of death. Why our human should be controlled by the outsider world? At any moment, we should try to make ourselves happy, even we have no money or will be looked upon down by others forever, we should always keep a happy heart. Happiness is not the propriety of those who are rich, clever or upper, though I am poor, stupid or humble, I shall still have the feeling of enjoying my own happiness.
Live, life, anger and poverty are all happiness, you should always feel happy no matter what has happens, actually happiness just exited where you can experience or enjoy it. There is such a kind of people in the world, he owns a lot of money, a high social status and a lot of women, but he did not feel happy, the reason is because he cannot feel the existence of happiness, he forget to be happy, he did not know how to treasure it or how to be grateful, even if he owns all of this, he still be unhappy.
What is human being can really control on earth? The Emperors in the ancient time owned great power and influences, they will still die without any exception, and some of then died painfully and boringly, even extremely sadly or unhappily. Since it cannot be controlled or you cannot control it according to your mind, why do you want to pursue with great efforts? May I know whether you are sure that you will get something during this pursuit? Why do not you just pursue a kind of happiness for yourself in your own heart, which is something that you will certainly obtain.
Actually everybody here owns happiness really in his heart, but you have buried deeply it in a corner of your heart, never knew its existence, or even you never have the attempt of it for discovery, experience or enjoyment. What a great pity! If you really want happiness, you will find it exits at any time and at any place. In the depth of your heart, you indeed have the power to dominate life. During the whole life, it is impossible for everything to happen as you wish, there should be ups and downs. When you are upset, at the time full of changes, maybe a different kind of happiness will appear. But whether you will experience or enjoy the true meanings of life, it depends on whether your heart will accept the different happiness or not.
Once I have tried to search for happiness with the only company of my bag (http://www.dinodirect.com/womens-backpacks-bookbags/ ), after the long journey, the only result was just to make myself tired. When I was back home, after a wonderful sleep and a good rest, I suddenly felt that this is happinessa good sleep after being tiredjust around my life.
