HAPPINESS
A rich woman went to a psychiatrist and complained “my whole life is empty; it has no meaning. Why???”
The
Doctor simply called the servant woman who was cleaning the floors
inside and told the rich lady “ I am going to ask this cleaner to tell
you about her life. I want you to listen to her. He then asked the
servant woman to tell about her life.
So
the old maid servant put down her broom and sat on a corner of the
floor and told her story: Well, my husband died of heart attack
suddenly last year, and three months later my only son was killed by a
car while on his bicycle.. I had nobody to support. I am not educated
and I am weak but still I had to live. I had nothing left. I could not
sleep; I could not eat; I never smiled at anyone, I even thought of
committing suicide one time. I started cleaning houses for survival.
Then
one evening a little kitten followed me home from work. Somehow I felt
sorry for that kitten. It was cold outside, so I decided to let the
kitten in. I got it some milk, and it licked the plate clean. Then it
purred and rubbed against my leg, and for the first time in months, I
smiled. Then I stopped to think; if helping a little kitten could make
me smile, may be doing something for people could make me happy. So the
next day I baked some biscuits and took them to a neighbor who was sick
in bed.
Every
day I tried to do something nice for someone. It made me so happy to
see them happy. Today, I do not know of anybody who sleeps and eats
better than I do. I have found happiness, by giving it to others.
When
she heard that, the rich lady cried. She had everything that money
could buy, but she had lost the things which money cannot buy.
