Sadness and Joy ...

I spoke to an old friend today. Years had past after our last meeting in India. Our lives have changed. Our way of thinking has changed along the way. After a long conversation about happenings in her life we departed. Now only thing I recollect is a quote which I had read ...

The wall we build around us to keep sadness out also keeps out the joy.

Looking for happiness is like chasing a mirage. It is always distant. In the process of catching it people don't look at the beautiful things they already have.

very true and mature observation!

Happiness is a butterfly, which when pursued, is always just beyond your grasp, but which, if you will sit down quietly, may alight upon you ~Nathaniel Hawthorne
