| The dealers seeking happiness and prosperity: Praying to Beer God |
“You don’t stop laughing because you grow old. You grow old because you stop laughing.”Rather than travelling abroad seeking new places and happiness, explore India. You don't have to seek pleasures and happiness. It will come to you.
Indians are guided by the principle of - Simple living and high thinking. Necessities for simple living is quite less than the advanced countries. Joint family concept in a vast majority of Indian people further help them further to be happy and cheerful, even at the time of grief or illness, they can share their pain with other members of the family which is quite abxent in the West. The social institution like Puja, Festivals, Marriage, Rituals also made them to be cheerful for lot of time. Thus, Indians are termed as happiest people in the world.
Yes, our natural instinct is acceptance and adjustment. Though like other people of the world would welcome money, we look at and find "life" seeking happiness and laughter.
