To be Happy or not to be Happy?

Often I have been asked “Why are you happy and why someone is unhappy?”After significant introspection for  many years this answer dawned in me. “What matters to me is why  I am happy or unhappy. And it has been my choice to be happy irrespective of the events in the environment. Why others are unhappy is beyond my emotional dimension since they have chosen  to be unhappy and I have no control over their emotions. We spend our life debating over why others are unhappy and in the process we become unhappy. This not selfishness but self realisation that we can never be the author of another person’s happiness or unhappiness.”🙏🙏
