Once we have all asked ourselves, where is happiness? do not?. In this opportunity I want to share with you a legend that I happened to find on the web and I am really attracted because it is based on a fundamental theme about the existence of all human beings, it could be said that it is the most important search of our lives find true happiness.
Legend has it that before humanity existed, the creation of the universe was in process with some dwarfs in charge of it, the first thing they did was:
The space, the stars, the constellations, the planets and then they started with the planet earth, its mountains, the skies, its seas and in the end they created the human.
Then when the human is ready, one of them says no! do not! wait, wait ...
Soon humans will be created. It is not fair that they have so many virtues and so many possibilities. We should do something to make it harder for them to move forward. Let's fill them with vices and defects; that will destroy them.
The eldest of the elves said:
They are expected to have flaws and folds, but that will only serve to make them more complete. I think we should deprive them of something that, even if it makes them live a challenge every day.
What fun!!! they all said.
But a young and clever goblin, from a corner, commented:
We should take away something that is important ... but what?
After much thinking, the old elf exclaimed:
Already! We're going to take away the key to happiness.
Wonderful ... fantastic ... excellent idea! the goblins shouted as they danced around a cauldron.
The old goblin followed:
The problem is going to be where to hide it so they can not find it.
The first one spoke again:
Let's hide it on top of the highest mountain in the world.
To which another member replied:
No, remember that they have strength and are tenacious, they would climb the mountain and the challenge will end.
The third goblin said:
Let's hide it at the bottom of the sea. No other said, remember that they are curious someone will invent a machine to download and you will find it.
The third said:
Let's choose a planet To which the others said no, remember their intelligence one day they will invent a ship that can travel to other planets and discover it.
An old goblin, who had been listening in silence stood up and said:
I think I know where to put it, we should hide it where they would never look for it.
Everyone turned in amazement and asked.
Where?
The goblin replied:
We will hide it WITHIN THEMSELVES ... very close to your heart.
Laughter and applause multiplied. All the goblins laughed:
Hahaha…! They'll be so busy looking for her outside, desperate, not knowing they're bringing her along all the time.
The young skeptic said:
Men have the desire to be happy, sooner or later someone will be wise enough to discover it and will tell everyone.
Perhaps this is what the eldest of the elves said, but men also have an innate distrust of simple things. If that man came to exist and reveal that the secret is hidden inside each one .... nobody will believe you.
Finding the meaning of your life is discovering the key to happiness
So that's how life goes to us, right? we are always looking for happiness in the things that advertising sells us (the materials) without realizing that it is not out there but that it is here in the heart in the simplest things of the world in what sometimes for us It is secondary and we do not give importance to it. It is there when you realize that happiness is hanging in your heart, and is within your reach (it is simply your choice to be happy) and you should only share it with others, an example of this may be laughter; There is nothing that fills more satisfaction in the earthly life than to make those around you smile. It is an indescribable moment where only plenitude reigns.
Love is the engine that moves the world and the maximum reflection of this is in the eyes of each child, who more example than them to talk about full happiness. They are the largest sample of that human part that we have lost over the years, they give everything without expecting anything in return just a smile back.
