Before we begin asking if the celebrities are happy, let us first find
out what is happiness? If I feel good for an hour a day, and horrible
for the rest of the day, am I happy? What if I am happy for eight hours
a day and horrible for the rest of the sixteen hours? Am I a happy
person? For most of us happiness is a state that is not permanent. We
are not happy throughout the day. At least majority of us are not.
What is happiness? Happiness means a sense of deep contentment. A
cheerful outlook. An attitude of positive thoughts. A person who has
these qualities is happy during all the times of the day.
How about celebrities then? They have name, fame and wealth. They can,
not only buy whatever they desire, but they can also buy a loved one.
They can buy anything. Their name is splashed around in the media most
of the times. Every news about them is awaited by the general
population. Celebrities may not have been born with a silver spoon in
the mouth, but the current spoon is mostly that of gold. So they must
be happy!
But sadly, happiness is away from most of them. Speaking of
contentment, most of them are not only not feeling any contentment, but
are frustrated. They are jealous at times. And they have no deep sense
of peace in them. Rather their life and minds are full of turbulence
most of the times. They are at times so dissatisfied with their own
life that they wish to run away from themselves. This they cannot do,
and therefore substances that take them away from their own realities
are so often used by them.
Happiness has something to do with money, but only to an extent.
Happiness has nothing to do with fame, if you are not satisfied with
yourself. Whatever the world may say, unless one has self-esteem, one
can never be happy. All of us sail in the same boat. Most of us are
living unhappy lives most of the time. Let us get happiness that will
give us a satisfied sense of living. Let us strive for happiness in our
own inner world.
