Contentment breeds happiness

Do you realise that happiness is something that is seemingly fast vanishing from the surface of the earth, so much so that we always include the word ''Happy'' in most of our well wishes?

Take a moment to think about this, we say, Happy Birthday, Happy New Year, Merry (Happy) Christmas, Happy Hari Raya, Happy Deepavali, Happy Anniversary, Happy Father's Day, Happy Mother's Day, Happy children's Day, Happy Teachers' Day, Happy Reading, Happy Exploring etc.

It appears to be something everyone needs in almost every occasion, but ironically it is also something everyone lacks and is searching hard for in a world that is full of bad news everyday as you flip the newspaper, turn on your TV or open your internet browser.

So, my friend, be happy always. The way to happiness is contentment as contentment breeds happiness. Be happy with and thankful for what you are and what you have. Cheers!
