Which happiness do you deserve?

An owner lives in his house with two cups. A red cup (she) and a blue cap (he). He uses the cups for drinking different beverages all the time.

The blue cap is modest and stays in its place waiting to be used by the owner. If the owner does not use him, he stays and enjoys life by collecting dust and talking to the cockroaches. He is friends with them to a point where he lets them hide under him when the owner is cleaning his house.

The red cup is proud and is condescending towards the blue cup since she is the one who is used by the owner each time. She is always clean, ready to be used by the owner, does not care about the blue cup, dust and cockroaches around her. She stops being a simple cup and loses touch with herself by trying to impress her owner in order for him to use her each time. She is always applying ointment on herself to look shiny and pleasing however she is red and attractive.

When the owner picks the red cup, she feels happy and when he picks the blue cup, she feels sad and at times wants to fall break and die.

As depicted from the above narrative, we can attain happiness in two ways:

— Working our minds, bodies and souls off to please others to get what we want then look down upon others thinking that we are happy since we got what we wanted and they are not.

— Doing what you do each day in a humble way and embracing everyone around you.

Choose your happiness wisely.

Happiness consists more in conveniences of pleasure that occur every day than in great pieces of good fortune that happen but seldom.”– Benjamin Franklin
