If someone loves a flower, of which only one blossom grows in the millions and millions of superstars, it is enough to create him happy only to look at the stars. He can say to himself, Anywhere, my flower is there?- But if the sheep eats the flower, a single moment all his or her stars will be darkened?- And you also think that is not important!

My home is in Hollywood. You may think men and women in such a glamorous, fun-filled position are happier than the others. If so, you have a few mistaken ideas regarding the nature of happiness. Many intelligent individuals still equatehappiness with entertaining. The truth is that fun along with happiness have tiny or nothing in common. Fun is what we experience during an act. Happiness is what we experience after an action. It is a deeper, far more abiding emotion.

Going to a theme park or ball game, seeing a movie or tv, are fun activities which help us relax, temporarily forget our difficulties and maybe even have a good laugh. But they do not carry happiness, because their positive results end when the enjoyable ends.

I have usually thought that if Hollywood stars have a role to play, it really is to teach us in which happiness has nothing to do with fun. These prosperous, beautiful individuals have continuous access to glamorousparties, fancy vehicles, expensive homes, everything that spells "happiness".

But in memoir after memoir, celebrities reveal the unhappiness hidden beneath all of their fun: depression, alcohol dependency, drug addiction, broken unions, troubled children, powerful loneliness.

The way individuals clingto the belief that a fun-filled, pain-free living equates happiness really diminishes their likelihood of ever attaining actual happiness. If entertaining and pleasure tend to be equated with pleasure, then pain has to be equated with unhappiness. But, in fact, the contrary is true: More instances than not, things that cause happiness involve some discomfort.

As a result, many people stay away from the very endeavors which might be the source of genuine happiness. They fear the pain inevitably through such things as marriage, raising children, professional good results, religious commitment, civicor charitablework, along with self-improvement.

And when your sadness is comforted occasion soothes all sorrows you will end up content that you have identified me. You will always be my friend. You will want to laugh beside me. And you will sometimes available your window, so, for your pleasure?- And your friends will be properly astonished to view you laughing while you look up at the sky!
