The Mindset of a common man

Sometimes a question arises in the mind can a common man really be happy? On one side there will be lots of desires and on other side the earnings will not match to fulfill their desires. A total imbalance between the earnings and the expenditure, betweent the desires and the fulfillment of desires. A struggle for existence trying to balance between the basic wants and the desires is the common sight for any person. If the common man is happy why there is a lot of distress, trauma, unhappiness etc among the humans. It indicates that the common man is not happy. Then the question arises why is he unhappy? what are the reasons which is making him unhappy? What are the forces which are stopping him in being happy.

If we refer to the pages of the history, always the bloodshed done in the name of wars was due to someone who wants to be a monarch. People doesnt like to be at the mercy of someone. Everyone wants to have the freedom in having a happy living. But due to some selfish people, all the others have to suffer and bear the consequences of  their activities.
It is natural to expect name and fame among the people and being recognised, having wealth to fulfill their desires, able to do charity etc. But the most important thing is that these have to be achieved by a proper means rather than unlawful ways.  No one thinks about his fellow being and his country. Everyone wants their needs to be fulfilled, but at the cost of some one else effort. People want fast money,fast recognition, fast growth.  Where is the end for this ?

The solution lies with us. If everyone does their duty correctly, automatically as an individual they will be correct and as a family they will be correct and as a nation they will be right and as a total world everyone can live happily. In unity lies strength, happiness, growth,peace and harmony.

For a common man to be happy, the change needs to come from the top to bottom. If the heads of the nations have morals and know the value of life, certainly every individual of that nation can be happy, their neighbouring nations can be happy and in total, the entire world can be happy.

Let us pray that every individual should do his duty correctly leaving his selfish thoughts to make this world a better and happy place to live.
