What Noise Does A Gun Make

• Surely we would all like to know what is the secret to being happy. In the following lines, with a set of questions and answers that you can answer yourself, you can discover the mystery that holds life in search of happiness.
First, it is clear that when we talk of happiness are not talking about mere moments of pleasure, joy, annoyance or distress. But, rather, something much deeper, we can not lock on the concept. But however, we approach it, when we

"end, which move all our actions," the meaning of life, "the essence of vitality," "the mystery of life" etc.
• Mindful that each person has an "idea" of what happiness is, we begin this discussion.

• First reflection What is essential to being happy?

Let's start looking for those elements that are "" essential "" to be happy. Let's start with the most common, money. The question is: do you know someone without much money has been happy? Yes, and there are many example ... "Teresa of Calcutta", "Mahatma Gandhi

", "Francis of Assisi" (and many others are not necessarily famous), etc. As they say, rich is not the one that most have but the least needs. And

good ... although

material is needed, and meets

an important role in our lives, we see that it is not essential.

Now, do you know anyone that without good health have been happy? Of course there are few examples, but there are. For example Tony Melendez, a man without arms, Luis de Moya, a quadriplegic, but also claims to be truly happy, or Caty Salom, a 18 year old who was diagnosed

amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, the same disease Stephen Hawking, but claims to be happy ... (Their life stories and more can be read online)

Finally, there are examples, so we can conclude that health, although is necessary and plays a pivotal role and important, is not indispensable to be happy.

Finally ... do you know anyone who still "relatively" alone in life, not 100% but if much of their lives alone, has been happy? Well here are also many examples but the so-called "hermit" or "hermit monks, had a lonely life, though

is necessary to have social relations is good and important e, we can see that there is absolutely ESSENTIAL for be happy. Well, after these reflections, thinking that nothing is essential to be happy .... However ... Do you know anyone who do not have love in your life happy? or anyone not having peace in life to be happy? ... after much deliberation we concluded that NO ... definitely now if there are 2 essential elements to be happy.

Well, once this stage we move to the second reflection ...

Let's start with the question is there anything in this life that you can not lose? ... Unfortunately, all things material and health are lost. Work and what we build in life we \u200b\u200blose. Also, unfortunately, our friends and our families, people in general, may die, and we lose. Everything in life is temporary, ephemeral and therefore likely to end.

We can therefore conclude that if love and peace that are the foundation of happiness, deposited 100% in these realities, we risk losing the happiness that longs for life ... or more than do not lose it, true peace are not going to achieve, since in our unconsciousness is this fear of losing the realities that are most appreciated.

Thus, we might conclude that happiness in this life ends up being temporary, and not play the role initially assigned to it and which we yearn in our hearts. That happiness ends up being a utopia, impossible to achieve after becoming aware of the impermanence of life and the world around us.

But in this conclusion, we are missing something, because something we discover, we can not lose and that is the source of love and peace ... We are forgetting God. To that person who is a believer, trusting in love and peace of God, never lose ... That's the key, believe in God. Obviously can lose faith, but one who has FAITH has someone who transcends all temporal, and so can not lose ... and that is the reality that helps us to walk, to be fully and simply HAPPY. The person who has true faith in God has ...

Someone you can trust, someone to love, someone to talk to, Someone to grow Someone who mysteriously is everywhere, Someone who knows all our inner Someone who understands what happens to us, someone who conveys security, anyone who teaches us to live life, Someone who gives us reason to forgive someone who gives us reasons to love, someone who accompanies us on the journey, someone that gives us hope,

Someone who encourages us to follow,

Someone is wrong, if we are wrong ... Someone who makes sense of the ugly things life, someone to help us lead our lives the reality of suffering Someone who tells us that death is not the last word, someone who helps us maintain a strong set of values, someone who supports us Someone who comforts us, someone who loves us and loves us so much that He gave His life for us ...

And all this, multiplied by eternity and infinity, which contains God. How wonderful ...

after, we can see a view from God can even spice material things, health, friendship, life ultimately. Whoever believes in God, believe that all you have was given, from his own life, including family, friends and the material. What claims to God then when you lose something? Nothing (even if, from pain), but nothing from reason, because all we were given. And so, every morning, every morning, every moment, our life is to express and say, looking at the sky, a deep and heartfelt: THANK YOU, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU GAVE ME ...

"We seek happiness, but without knowing where, like drunkards looking for their home, knowing they have one. "
