An unhappy world

This is not a happy world. The world I'm in is not a happy one. Nobody is working towards happiness. Everybody is just trying to shun unhappiness. Nobody is happy. I remembered the happiest time of my register-able conscious life in the village of Holavanahalli, Koratagare, Tumkur, Bangalore, Karanatka, India. I realised that the world has much happiness and that I can brign happiness to people. It makes me a very fulfilled man. It was a span of 4 years that I had gotten myself involved in various voluntary works which I had the chance to give more happiness to others and myself. It had been 4 years after it that I'm in this sphere now and reflecting that I'm not in a happy world. I am not giving happiness. My class of 40 are not happy. My superiors will not be happy with the results of my class. I feel the pressure, and I'm not happy. The class is not conforming and I'm not happy. When I'm not happy, all the more my class will not be happy. The countrymen are made to buy annuities and we are not happy. The boss in work is blind to every effort except results and the worker is not happy. The worker cannot produce results and the boss is not happy. Everybody is trying to make as much money as possible and the government is trying to get more money from the people. This is a discontented world. The innocent child whom I would always look to for the hopes and beauty of the world have turned into troubles. Troubles whom I am made responsible for. Everybody is unhappy. This is a damned, unhappy world. Clubs and pubs are making money selling relief to people who seek temporary happiness. Unreal, illusioned, sensual pleasures. Flesh and skin robots working on the mantra of efficiency, involved in the process of turning the resources of this Earth and consuming the products., finding short-lived, artificial satisfaction and happiness in being able to consume that image related with the product. Nobody is happy. Whoever said that children must be seated quietly in their chair and listen attentively to be good students and then the teacher will be happy? Whoever said that everything must be in an orderly manner before one will feel happy? JUST WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE NOTION OF HAPPINESS THAT EVERYONE HAS LOST THE INSTINCT FOR GIVING AND TAKING IT?

Comparing the environment 4 years ago and now, it is the dastardly ego of man. Man's need to feel important and the desire to control that comes with ego. Must everyone have a hand at controlling every outcome?? Don't anyone realise that everything around as are just unreal and exist only for a short time? That the well-being of the self and others are actually an illusion? Can we wake up from the disillusion that everything need not be taken so hard and that we should just work towards everyone's happiness? Before anything is said or done, can we ask ourselves if it brings happiness to people. If not, are other criteria that important to warrant the sacrifice of happiness? If the farmers who hold the vein of human race's survival recognises that everything is under the mercy of nature and that we are not in control, then can we, consumers of farmers' toil not yearn for almighty controlling power and lead a simple life of happiness?

Even the smiles are laboured.
Is there nobody to SmileUp!?
