Happiness

‘Who is the happiest person on this planet?’ asked a British newspaper to its readers. Among those which were chosen were these 1. A craftsman after just finishing a sculpture he just created, admiring his work of art.  2. A mother washing her child after a hard day’s work.  3. A boy and a girl building a sandcastle at the beach.  4. A doctor shaking hands with a patient on whom he just performed a serious operation. 5. A priest who has just spent three hours hearing confessions and healing people’s hurts. So, as you can see, among these responses there are no millionaires, no artists, film stars or football players, or politicians. Happiness is often found among those who do simple things in life, much more than those who live a sophisticated lifestyle.
