An Indian cannot think of a happy life for himself while others suffer.



जीवन्ते यस्य जीवन्ति मित्राणीष्टाः सबान्धवाः।
सफलं जीवितं तस्य आत्मार्थे को न जीवति॥
चाणक्य राजनीति शास्त्रे
jīvante yasya jīvanti mitrāṇīṣṭāḥ sabāndhavāḥ|
saphalaṁ jīvitaṁ tasya ātmārthe ko na jīvati||
chanakya rajneeti shastram
====================
A great lesson from chanakya rajaneeti shastram
If many dear friends and their relatives too live happily because a person lives a good life, then alone his life is purposeful and great.
Even otherwise, everyone lives a life for himself..
There is so little to talk about that..
===========================
One sweet fact about the Indian Philosophy and thought is that selfishness is unthought of .
People think only of life in the company of family and friends, and doing good to the society.
This idea has been canvassed right from the earliest of Vedas, the Rigvedam, and in all other Vedas, Upanishads, Itihasas and Puranas..
An Indian cannot think of a happy life for himself while others suffer..
