We all are in quest of happiness. We try to find it in different
forms: money, fame, food, work, and so on. The more we run after it, the
difficult it becomes to attain. Here is a short story that describes
the very nature of happiness.
In a small village, there
lived a dog and his little puppy. One day, while the puppy was playing
with his father, he heard two men talking about happiness. He was very
curious. So he asked to his father, "Daddy, where can I get happiness
from?" The papa dog smiled and said, "Look, it's in your tail. Go get
it!"
The puppy started running around himself to catch
his own tail. He went round and round, but could not catch his tail. At
last, he was tired, and then he came back to his father. "Daddy, the
more I'm trying to catch happiness, the farther it is going. It's
impossible to get happiness!" said the puppy sadly.
The papa dog said, "Kid, don't run after happiness. Just walk straight on your path. Happiness will automatically follow you!"
