BYB Sunday : Good Wishes
Every living being has the same basic wish - to be happy and to avoid suffering. Even newborn babies, animals, and insects have this wish. It has been our main wish since beginningless time and it is with us all the time, even during our sleep. We spend our whole life working hard to fulfil this wish.
Since this world evolved, human beings have spent much time and energy improving external conditions in their search for happiness and a solution to their many problems. What has been the result? Instead of their wishes being fulfilled, human suffering has continued to increase while the experience of happiness and peace is decreasing. This clearly shows that we need to find a true method for gaining pure happiness and freedom from misery.
When things go wrong in our life and we encounter difficult situations we tend to regard the situation itself as the problem, but in reality whatever problems we experience come from the side of the mind. If we were to respond to difficult situations with a positive or peaceful mind they would not be problems for us; indeed we may even come to regard them as challenges or opportunities for growth and development. Problems arise only if we respond to difficulties with a negative state of mind. Therefore, if we want to be free from problems we must learn to control our mind.

Who is obedient??
In our society we respect our parents and it is our duty to serve and help them, especially when they become older.
But some times, I feel, only serving our parents is not enough to pay off the debt that we owe to them.
They expect more...
In this materialistic world, parents have also changed.
They like that child better who can give them a lot of comforts that money can buy even if he is not serving them a single minute.
And, in comparison, the childr who is near and serving them, not just physicaly but mentally too isnt liked that much if he cant provide the material comforts.
It looks like that in today's world all relations are changed, even parents.
Is success so important that it has changed all; even relationships??
(and success here is in terms of money)
Why do parents only like their sucessful child???
Why is this world able to change parents who are God for the children?
Is god also changed and likes only sucessful people??
