it all depends on what you mean by happiness



it all depends on what you mean by happiness..
Happiness a cliche.. It is happiness for a snake to eat a frog.. but for the frog ?
I am reminded of the tantrums of a vagrant person who came to the backyard of the kitchen of a rich household , where a feast was in the making..
The man saw a bunch of plantain fruits suspended from the ceiling..
He hovered around scratching his head and praying to himself that the cook might give him two plantains..
The cook saw him and asked why the fellow was loitering around.
Shy by nature, the man replied,
" I would be happy to have a little fire"..
The cook just picked out a burning log and handed it over to the expectant wanderer..
Suddenly, the latter got angry glowered at the cook and shouted,
"ഇച്ചിരി തീ എന്ന് പറഞ്ഞാല്‍ രണ്ടു പയം. ഇതറിയില്ലേ?"..
"Don't you know that I meant two plantains, when I asked for a little fire?''..
This is what happens.. we just think and define something according to our wishes and limited perceptions and assume and expect that others also understand and interpret in the same way..
it is not possible..
