Those who cannot stand happiness

Many people crib about life, others, work, kids and money. Hardly do they realise that they cannot keep themselves happy. Last day while talking with my friend, we both came across a similar observation; i think this ugly trait is the most irrepairable part of people.

Some people cannot stand the happiness of others. They are basically jealous. And this jealousy is capable of avenging and ruining anything and everything that involves in building a relationship. People have a common misconception that killers, robbers, rapists the likes are the bad people bent on ruining the happiness of others. However, there are bigger villans hidden in everyone's self. See this:

• One who cannot be happy for his/her sibling's success - there starts sibling rivalry
• One who cannot see his/her better half being happy and content - there starts nagging
• One who cannot see his/her son/daughter pursuing their dreams/love - there starts scolding and mental torture
• One who cannot see his/her friend happy with her post marriage life - there broods jealousy and sarcasm and finally gossip and backbiting
• One who cannot see his/her collegue doing well - again evil pangs of jealousy.
• One who can never be happy with himself/herself - there starts self-pity and complaining

The fact - I have been jealous of things and people at some point of time for different reasons - this is my self-realization. However, once when I started concentrating on keeping myself happy, all these hardly mattered. Somewhere someone said right - "Be selfish."

Be selfish of your happiness first - Keep yourself happy - It works like magic - life looks beautiful and worth living. This does not mean that one should trouble others and keep himself/herself happy - Striking a right balance in keeping yourself and others happy defnitely helps in self-growth, and in turn - more happiness.
