An Old Man and His Happiness

Months ago....

Randomly, I searched some good short stories that can inspired me..

I found this......
_____________________

An old man lived in the village.

He was one of the most unfortunate people in the world. The whole village was tired of him, he was always gloomy, constantly complained and always in a bad mood. 

The longer he lived, the more bile was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him, because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnaturally and insulting to be happy next to him. 

He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.

But one day, when he got eighty years old, an incredible thing happened.

Instantly everyone heard the rumor : "An old man is happy today, he doesn't complain anything, smiles, and even his face is freshened up". The whole village gathered. 

An old man was asked : 
- What happened to you?

He answered : 
- Nothing special. Eighty years I've been chasing happiness, and it was useless. Then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That's why I'm happy. 

THE END.

  • BE GRATEFUL AND ENJOY YOUR LIFE AT THIS VERY MOMENT. 
  • YOU ARE BLESSED, CAN'T YOU SEE?

* Ecclesiastes 3 : 13 = And also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor—it is the gift of God.
