Happiness

It would not be wrong to say that your happiness and unhappiness depend on the great extent on yourselves. Each person is the creation of this own thought. He becomes what he feela about himself. It ban ve said that the greatest cause of unhappiness i the world is out attachment to the worldly things and our ambition to acquire them. We are mistaken when we regard worldly pleasure to be the same as spiritual bliss. If a person want to be happy all the time, he should not be attached to any worldly object. This is known as the yoga of detachment. One should be like a lotus which swings majestically while being in the water. Happniess is a power which gives us strength even during tragedy.

How to be Happy:- Laughter

There is a saying in English "Eat an apple a day, keep the doctor away. A Doctor in England changed this saying and "Have a hearty laughter a day and keep sickness away." This Doctor held the view that to keep children healthy and energetic it is very necessary that they keep on laughing. If the teachers of school children with whom they spent a lot of time remain angry and are of dull nature, the children might become dull and unwell.

They have good appetite, they can digest more food. When we laugh heartily, our hunger is doubled. It is seen that those who laugh quite often are fat and healthy. Laughter is a kind of pleasant exercise. During laughter, many muscles of the face, neck, chest and belly become active simultaneously. The nervous and blood vessels of these parts of body are also toned up by laughter. Those who laugh often do not get illness of lungs. In Paris, a doctor cures many patients just by making them laugh. He asks all this patients to sit blind folded in a hall every Sunday. Then he plays a gramaphone record full of humour. All the patiens begin to laught together. When patients hear others laugh their healthm improves quickly.
