A case study on Happiness
Sompal de Unhappi--A brief history
Sompal was a salesman. He was planning to get married and moved into
a new apartment, comfortable enough for a new couple. planning to get married soon.
:Sompal moves into a new level of happiness
Happiness is created by the generation of happy thoughts; and thoughts are generated by
the mind with or without the association of the other five senses: the eye, the ear, the
nose, the mouth and the body. We do everything to gratify our desires and cravings which
are demanded by these sensory organs, often defined as insatiable monsters.
Happy thoughts are the results of our association with happy assets. Sompal after his big
promotion in his office, decided to invest his new cash flows in the acquisition of new happy
assets, so that he could move into a new level of happiness.
Sompal likes to look at and live with beautiful flowers. So he bought a few roses to be kept
in his apartment. When you see the flowers like beautiful roses, you expect the rose to
create a happy thought in your mind, because you like flowers. [gratification of the eye.]
As he enjoys listening to good music he invested in a set of new equipment to listen to
good,music[ to gratify his ears]
Sompal also bought some ice cream and kept it in his refrigerator because ice-
cream is his favorite dessert.[pleasing his tongue]
He bought some exotic perfumes for his girl friend, because she likes to use perfumes and
she will be happy using it. [gratifying the nose].
Sompal also purchased an air conditioner because he likes and enjoys living in a cooler
environment [gratification of the body].
All these assets he acquired as a preliminary step in getting married.
Can these happy assets guarantee his happiness? For how long?
The happiness created by the ownership or the use of the above assets was short lived,
because happy thoughts created by those objects could not be sustained for long periods
of time .Whatever the asset is, it is subject to the laws of non-permanence. Some
deteriorate faster, and some very slowly. When they disappear, your happy thoughts will
also be transformed in to unhappy thoughts. That could make you unhappy.
Everything Changed unexpectedly.
Unfortunately, for Sompal, the source of electricity supply to his apartment area was
destroyed by a tsunami wave. As a result, the air-conditioner ceased to function and his
apartment was without electricity; the ice-cream started melting in the refrigerator. He had
no information about his girl friend, because of the disturbance to the communication
system. It becomes a major worry. He was even without music.
Tsunami Wave came in and his area was disturbed once again. A few months later, his
fiancé died of a bomb explosion in a restaurant. while waiting for Sompal.
Sompal escaped death because he was late. He decides to take a retreat at the Happyraj.
After his 10-day program he got a few more extensions. Later he was recruited to work in
the restaurant ship named The Happicraft, that ferried people to the Happyraj.
After two months work on the restaurant boat, he decided to leave because he could not
agree with the life styles that he was expected to promote at the Happicraft--the restaurant
boat.
He preferred to work in the Happyraj.
