To be happy, we should not put pressure on ourself--
life should have light-hearted moments and lots of simple joys but, in a competitive and materialistic word, we strive, even beyond limits, and end up stressed, unhappy and discontented. Life is about choice and many find themselves lost for lack of insight.  Happiness does not drop on our lap  from a magical tree--it has to be cultivated and is a life-long process.  We need patience, humility, a sense of values and belonging, love, compassion, tolerance and empathy for without such we would be selfish, alienated and would not be able to reach out to others--we need to relate to the world, contribute and make it a better place.  We will never be perfect and are not expected to be such but we can always be better than we think. In these troubled days, many would yearn for a return to those past happy years which they have taken for granted.  We have been shaken from our inertia and now realise that life is such a precious gift never to be overlooked.  I wish you and your family well and safe.
