Dont look for happiness....Look out for JOY

An inspirational message to everyone....A must and should article to be read by everyone...Click read more...!

What is the purpose of life .. being alive ?
People say its happiness . But I am not looking for happiness maybe . Why people choose paths that are twisted and full of thorns . What is happiness then ?

The very obvious question ...is that love ? No way. I have seen people more in pain due to love . Sleepless nights , anxiety , fear of losing . Now some philosophers will say that is not love . Ok .. tell me why we should think the way some philosopher asks to . The natural feeling we have in ourselves . Is that bad ? How contradictory . Why should we be convincing ourselves that what we want is what we wouldn't . After all losers have to follow those principles in order to console themselves .
In Eleven minutes by Paulo Coelho , Maria doesn't get real love anywhere and so everyday she keeps entering in her diary some philosophies that love is freedom and blah blah . Those who got their love never mentioned or talked about such philosophies .
Anyway , if its not love ,what is it ? Is it peace ?A mother is never at peace . Every second she is worried about their children . If there is absolute peace in life you are dead ! After all life is about ups and downs . You cant enjoy peace unless you walked down paths that were most difficult and challenging for you .
well then wealth ? Did anybody earned a lot and then stopped working to enjoy a life ? The life becomes more and more difficult as you gain more wealth . Poverty causes unhappiness but that doesn't mean wealth brings happiness .
well , I think search for happiness is like searching for a mare's nest .

I wasted enough of my time searching for happiness . I want joy now .
Joy is like sex - it begins and ends . Happiness is like a trap that shows you joy with eternity .But that's just a trap . Do not fall in the trap of happiness . Live the moments .
