Once upon a time, an old man lived in a village. He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him as he was always gloomy and had a bad attitude.
With the passage of time, his words and attitude was becoming more and more loathsome. So the villagers started to avoid him as it was impossible to be happy around him. He created the feelings of unhappiness and hopelessness in the people.
But one day, an amazing thing happened and everyone started to hear some rumors about the old man that today the old man is very happy, he is not complaining about anything, he is smiling and his face is freshen up.
The whole villagers gathered around him and asked what happened to him.
He said, nothing special, "for a major portion of my life I have been chasing the happiness and it was useless. Now I have decided to live without happiness and just enjoy the life, so I am happy now".
From this story we can relate our life, we try to do everything to make our life happier by making relations, by buying costly things, by the power but the true happiness lies being content in the present moment.
