Man has been in pursuit of happiness from time immemorial. Many people derive their happiness from cultural activities like singing, dancing, festivals, celebrations, etc. whereas people also feel happy when they achieve something whether in sports, academics, profession etc. People also draw their happiness while doing their duties due to a feeling of satisfaction, whereas some people feel happy about their virtues like honesty, integrity, truthfulness etc. There is a full spectrum of happiness, however, nowadays many of us find that happiness does not last long and we feel some kind of sadness, frustration or other negative feelings for quite a significant period of our time. Even those who feel happy would like to increase their happiness in order to feel the thrills, joy and all kinds of positive emotions. In fact all of us want to remain happy forever, and to achieve that, it is important to understand the concepts, methods and science of happiness. It is also important to understand the problems that the world is facing today.
The world is facing unprecedented problems in the areas of public interest as well as interest of individuals. There are challenges like environmental degradation, moving ahead at the cost of others, having no respect for nature, not having the sense of belongingness for fellow human beings and other creatures etc. Solution to the problem lies in changing the mindsets, developing universal love, feelings for others, developing virtues like contentment, patience, integrity and so on. What can be the realistic approach for this? There could be so many theories about what can be done or what should be done but theories which are not accepted by people are of no use. We cannot say that people are not listening to reason. We have to find the solution which can be propelled into the mindset of people, which is practical, feasible and implementable. The solution is giving people their happiness by natural means without destroying the world, developing love among them and making them feel connected. As people become happy, they will not be desperate to choose the means which are not friendly for environment and will not do anything which may spoil the life of others. If the aim of achieving everlasting happiness is set as a guiding principle, things will start moving in the right direction, making this world a better place to live. However, to devise strategies for achieving the everlasting happiness, it is important to understand the concepts related to happiness and its everlasting nature.
