Happiness is temporary

Could we feel happiness if there was no unhappiness. If everybody in the world was happy then it couldn't be possible to realise it. Is happiness feeling or engaging. Is happiness and pleasure the same.

A king had four wives. One wife was very beautiful she was his best wife. He used to spend most of his time with her. The second wife was very sharp in the calculation and materialistic world. King used to consult with her about investment and savings. The third wife was very gullible and frank. The king used to talk about all matters with her freely. The fourth wife post is concerned about the king. She always thought good about the King. The king used to neglect her most.

One day the time has come for the king to leave the kingdom. So he requested one by one of his wives to accompany him. Everybody avoided him except the last wife who was most neglected by the king.

In everybody's there are companions or acquaintances like these wives. The first wife is our body which never goes with us when we leave this earth which is buried. The second wife actually is wealth and money which we care so intently but that also we have to leave. Thirdly the wife is like our friends and relatives who also don't accompany us at last Last Journey. But our Karma only accompanies us which we mostly neglect or ignore.

So happy life is very temporary and momentary. It is not internal. It just disappears with time.

One can't be happy with a single person or thing lifelong. Anything in excess is not good for your physical or mental health. There is always a limitation of time and quantity for being happy. After a period of time or quantity of happiness don't remain the same. After a point of time or quantity we try to get rid of that.

So materialistic or worldly happiness is actually reflected happiness which is already always within us. We are just unable to recognise internally and run after material blindfolded.
