“If we start searching for a reason to feel happy, then our brain will get used to feel sad by default when there is no reason to feel happy about, which is not good. So start feeling happy for no reason.” – Jackie Jain
After a long time, I stepped back on the land of Earth,
All I saw was cleaner roads but brains were full of Dirt.
Once upon a time, people used to have lot of respect and self-worth.
Now don’t know why people worry so much from the moment they take birth.
Life here was perfect and full of satisfaction when I last saw this place.
Now I see everyone is just running for power and fame in a bloody race.
People surely have stepped up rapidly in technology.
But they have quickly stepped down in humanity.
Many of the humans have seen me coming down,
But still no one came to offer me my crown.
I heard hearts were breaking, minds were screaming.
But still hands were working and pockets were filling.
There is a massive moral breakdown in society.
Without faith in hearts people here are praying to deity.
My friend Love, who once used to rule this beautiful land.
His photo is now placed in hearts decorated by a garland.
The new ruler who rules mercilessly and without compassion, is Money.
He is the destroyer and people still let him rule happily. Isn’t it funny?
I felt sad and was about to leave this land which is now not more than a mess.
But just then, I finally heard someone calling me by my name, ‘Happiness, Happiness’.
That 6 year old baby in a moment stole my heart,
This is the only category which showcases my art.
*Then in few seconds,
Happiness just ascends.*
“Don’t feel happy only when you have a reason. Feel happy even when you don’t have a reason to feel happy. Because happiness may come back anytime. We shouldn’t disappoint him once again.”

Happiness transcends boundaries and is an adornment of true beauty. People are running towards materialistic frivolity and holding back on simple pleasures. I find happiness in the smallest of things and cherish moments which have left me speechless.Happiness is a divine feeling and you have personified it in an adept manner.πππ
