People are not happy where they are.

Few years back when I had not achieved my career goal, I was not having a job of my liking and things were going down hill, I used to think that all my friends and others who have a job in reputed company are happy and contented. I was feeling guilty for not trying hard enough to get to such level.

During this time I used to do lots of introspection, I was at place of dreams, place of lots of opportunities, I was at US.

Suddenly I decided that it would be better of if I go back to my home ground. The day I landed and till today I am at peace. I am happy as never before.

Anyway, to really prove what I think that everyone is not happy where they are, I just experienced one thing, when I came to this great city for official work in a big fish of corporate world. And I found people here are also not happy. May be few are but these are new joinee and starting their career. They are in myth of achieving what they had dreamt of. But the seniors are very stressed and not happy.

Few are leaving this company I don’t know the reason.

I don’t know what everyone needs, what they are running for. I think its very easy to be happy and at peace, but we don’t need that. Everyone will talk about problems, worries, but they would never step aside and grab the simple way to happiness.

I am so happy and I want to share this happiness, but people are hard and they have trained themselves in such a way that I am having trouble spreading the happiness.

I wish everyone can feel happy where they are. To realise at the end of our life I hope we can realise as early as possible. Every effort we make leads to pain and grief.

Being content, happiness etc are marginally different. People like me may complain to my friends about various things but doesn't mean I'm unhappy. Restlessness, unhappiness and discontent is partly what drives growth. Is growth necessary?
