Satisfaction Is the Key of Happiness

The proverb goes that the more they get the more they want. It is habitual that a human being wants more and more. There is no end of one’s demand in this mundane world. But it is a matter of simple thought that a person’s all demands are not to be fulfilled here on earth. A man may want to marry thousands of women in this world. But this is nearly impossible on behalf of a single person. However, a human being may get this desire fulfilled if he or she can go to the heaven after death.

Not all human beings are happy with what he or she has. Happiness is a psychological matter. A poor man living in the hut may be happy if he is satisfied with what he has. He lives from hand to mouth. This does not matter at all. He works hard in the field all day long. After sunset, he comes back to his hut, and goes to bed for a deep sleep. He remains healthy physically and mentally all the year round. Thus, his life comes to an end with happiness.

On the contrary, a very wealthy person or even a minister of a country may be unhappy with what he has because he always tries to compete with another minister for some reasons. Many difficult problems surround him from different corners. He leads so complex a life that his mentality is always filled with new wants and demands. He always remains on the run to fulfill his demands. But it is quite impossible to realize all his requirements in this world, and so he remains unsatisfied and unhappy in his entire life.

So, it is crystal-clear that a person’s happiness lies in his or her contentment with what he or she has. Health is always the root of all happiness. A healthy mind lives in a healthy body. If a person is physically healthy, he or she is sure to be happy mentally also. So, we can certainly assert that self-satisfaction is the key to happiness.
