EVERYBODY wants to be HAPPY!

No matter what is our skin colour, our position in society, the place we're living in or the aims
we're wishing to reach,one thing is the same for all of us, WE WANT TO BE HAPPY.

But what is it that can make us feel HAPPY, I mean, is there anything that can take us to a state
in which there can be a deep sense of joy about being alive, living our daily life, whatever our duties,

responsibilities,charges and all the rest that is asked to us to keep ourselves going ahead through this
so much competitive world that in one hand gives us a lot of technology to help our life in being easier and
more speed up while in the other hand charges us with too much to be done, to get,to learn,to achieve,
to deal with informations coming from all the sides, from all the ways that this technology provides us,always
showing us that if we don't have all the uptodate devices created to make our lifes full of electronic interesting things
it will have no meaning at all.

So sometimes it seams that this word HAPPINESS is completely turned into the meaning
of FULFILLMENT OF OUR OUTSIDE SENSATIONS in a so much speed up changing world in which what is the uptodate
today can be completely obsolete tomorrow. So how can we be HAPPY or even define what HAPPINESS is, if we have
no chance to look at ourselves, to try to understand the real purpose of our life, even while dealing with all that we have to,
because of course to evolve, to face the challenges of life is not only a necessary thing but what makes us human being,
with the power to change our future and get our aims, so it' good for us to understand that we must face the challenge of
moving ahead in this speed up changing world, although it can be hard enough.

The point is exactly that although it's good to fight to get the things of the outside, because this not only gives us the boost
to keep ourselves moving, improving, learning and doing our best but can give us the good things that we deserve as a result
of our own efforts, BUT HAPPINESS IS A STATE OF SPIRIT and it cannot be given us by the outside, the only thing that the
outside can give us is an environment that makes us feel good, like when we are in the beach completely lost in the feeling of
a wonderful sunset, or the good that we feel when in a beautiful garden full of beautiful flowers.

So, the outside cannot be the source of our happiness although it can help us to feel good, but the real source of HAPPINESS
IS A MIND AND A HEART IN PEACE WITHIN.
No matter the changes, disappointments, waves of fulfillment and frustrations that we can face, if there is PEACE INSIDE, we
will always find the way, an it was already known a very long time ago by one of the most important philosophers that this world
have ever seen, Socrates, that '' KNOW YOURSELF AND YOU WILL KNOW PEACE''.

SO, it's indeed that to be happy is an inward way that must be stepped by ourselves and that can bring us to a very interesting discovering
of how much rich our inside life can be even in this crazy world we're living in, if we go deep into ourselves to the point within where everythings
are already in PEACE, IN A DEEP SENSE OF JOY AND HARMONY, that is the essence of life itself.

And just to say something else that makes me feel so good, we don't have to worry about a thing because the clouds passes and the blue sky
lasts forever.
And it's simply
THE RIGHT WE HAVE TO BE HAPPY AND EXPRESS THE BEST WE ARE IN LIFE.
