Compassion - the way to be Happy

Man doesn't believe whatever happens to him for the first instance if it happens unexpectedly. However mere acceptance decides whether the outcome will sooth or scratch. Who would want to design such a route which would ultimately lead the person to be at content. Its none other than self who would judge that.

Many people say I live for others. It is true. But what matters is the extent to which the statement stays correct. I work for my family to get better living standards. I work hard because I want my nearones to enjoy the comforts which tend to add to their lifestyle. I slog all day to buy more cushions so that they sleep peacefully. I want to earn more cause my John uncle has more wealth and I want him to go down against my family. Few of these reasons might be logical, few might be irrational. But the truth is that they all stand correct from the perspective of an individual. And there's nothing wrong in it cause these are the objectives for almost every individual who just wants to do something for someone.

But how is that one does something for others. It is said," If you want others to be happy, practice compassion." The height of compassion will determine the level of slogging one would do for making others happy. A wonderful idea ain't it. Still few things involved are not visible when one does something for others. It takes no time when compassion turns into obsession which at times proves to be harmful for others. Thus OTHERS does not only include the near and dear ones but also who are around whose life might be affected. Its just that to whatever extent one does something for someone with all the obsession or passion, it doesn't have to hurt any other. The consideration for others feelings as our would determine the same.
