How to live happily

There was a young man who completed studying in a college, working in a good firm, by the time he reached his teenage and crossed it, he had to face lot of challenges beside various good and bad scenarios around for others than own experienced one. He hated many things and he loved many things on his way of life but the way he saw other’s life and their hard times, sorrow and pain etc. he then realized that he may face the same issue one or other day and he almost felt and finalized that he is the one who is right now facing the difficulties and pain.

He started to worry for nothing but seeing other’s difficulties in their life and ignoring rare happiness among them. Anyhow, he was almost frustrated and would like to ask the genuine person to come out from this one though the previous (elder) one doesn’t give any solution than general answer for such toughest and difficult scenarios to overcome.

How to find happiness? How to live happily? How to live everyone happily? How to avoid sadness? Tips for happiness? These are the questions always on his mind. He has to get its solution at any cost before he perhaps about to face the same situation in the future.

He almost found a person who was alone at the moment, elder, calm, sitting in a remote place, obsereved that he had always fun with others and right now enjoying his life with happiness, as usual. He approached him in a natural and beautiful atmosphere. This young gentleman met him, introduced him and asked him about the ‘rare happiness on one’s life and more sadness on human’s life around’.

This old man asked him to sit nearby him and asked him few more questions. While doing this, the old man suddenly grabbed a Butterfly on his hand which was flying nearby these two. He then asked this young man about this butterfly in his closed hand whether it is ‘live’ or ‘dead’. This young gentleman thought for a while and replied little late, but what he thought for a while.

If he says this butterfly is ‘live’ then this old man may close his hand tightly and smashed this butterfly to die.

If he says this butterfly is ‘dead’ then this old man may open his hand and let it fly to live etc. which finally this young man’s answer might be wrong, from one of these answers.

So, this young man smartly told the old man that, it is in your hand whether butterfly to live or let it die.

Then, the old man immediately replied to him that, happiness is like grabbed 'Butterfly in hand' to let it live or die. It is in your hand whether to live happily or sad at any circumstance except natural or real sad moment. Whether to make your life as an heaven or hell without disturbing others. So, it is in your hand for sadness or happiness too. Live happily.
