What kind of happiness do you want in life?

To gain something in life, you have to lose something. We think that whoever has a lot of money is happy. But not at all like that. Despite having everything, sometimes a man becomes completely alone. And sometimes his thinking does not allow him to enjoy his wealth.

A family of twelve people lived in a village. The family was going through a lot of poverty. There was a very beautiful girl in that family. Whose name was Sophia. When the girl grew up a little, the parents got her married to an old man. Sophia did not even know the meaning of marriage properly. His daughter will be happy. He will get all the happiness which he could not provide to his daughter. That old man was very rich. But he used to be ill all the time. At last one day the old man became dear to God. And now Sophia was all alone. There were many servants in the house but her world had changed.

The father thought that Sophia should be married again to another rich man. But this time Sophia flatly refused. Marriage had now become a meaningless bond for her. Because marriage had given her only sadness. Friends used to explain to her a lot that this time you should marry a young man. So she used to say, does the young never get old? Can he be immortal? Then who doesn’t have any answer.

Sophia used to be completely alone in her house. She used to be very sad. She did not talk to anyone. Now she started focusing on the cleanliness of her house to engage her mind. She started keeping an eye on the work of the servants. One day while massaging her feet, her maid said that your anklet is very beautiful, just put some ghungroos in it. Lo. Sofia thought she is right in saying how is Bina Ghungroo’s anklet? The very next day he sent his anklet to the goldsmith and got the anklets fitted.

Now when she used to walk, there would be a sound of Ghungroo. The servants would have been alert after hearing the sound. Once upon a time there was a doubt in her mind that the maid asked me to get anklets so that I could not catch her stealing. She opened the anklets of her anklets. Now if she walks then there is no sound. One day she caught her maid misbehaving with the servant. Then the next day she caught stealing household goods. She fired all the workers. And hired other servants. Everything went well for a few days. Then those new servants also started doing like old servants. He also fired those servants. She had to do all the household chores herself. She was completely alone even at home. Now he was getting more stressed than before. Couldn’t understand what to do. Either compromise with the situation or live your life like this.

One day a friend of hers came to her. Seeing him alone, he also started worrying a lot. We have to lose something to gain something, he explained to Sophia. You have nothing even though you have everything. You are left all alone in this big mansion. Then Sophia said what should I do? Should I tolerate the cheating of the servants? Or see theft happening in my house? Her friend explained that now you have no other option. That’s why you have to compromise with them. Saying this her friend went away. That night Sophia could not sleep the whole night. The very next day he put anklets in his anklets. And again hired new servants.

Man can never be satisfied. Even if his wishes are fulfilled and even if they are not fulfilled. If we want to enjoy the real life, we should be happy in ourselves. If we run our eyes everywhere, we can never be happy. Small things can give us happiness and small things can give us sorrow. Now it is our choice how to be happy.
