They live in a place where there is no proper food, shelter or clothing. Mother Nature takes care of them in terms of food and water supply. They do not have any sense of ownership. These are Bushmen of Kalahari desert.
Just 600 miles to the south there is a vast city. People here are trained to follow a routine. They get up forcefully by a noise making device. They get ready to reach a place on time. It happens like they are computer and are programmed to do all the tasks in the same sequence every day. They have two days of downtime when their behavior goes haywire. Still most of the times there is pattern during the downtime too.
The above summary is the taken from the movie "Gods must be crazy - 1". This is how the movie starts. By comparing the two lives. It is quite easy to determine which group is happy if you see the movie. You can check the video below. (note – video has frontal nudity, Bushmen don’t wear cloths)
If you ask me whether I can live life without happiness, my answer would be a big NO. I like happiness.
But I do not like unhappiness. It is my best friend too. It pushes me. It brings me out of the situations which were not good for me. It is my saviour.
At any given moment I can be happy as well as unhappy. It is difficult for me to choose.
There are so many people who have abundance. I wish I could be one of them.
There are so many who are unfortunate. I am better than them. Maybe I can help a few.
Sometimes I choose to be happy. Sometimes I choose to be unhappy.
My choice.
I can't live without both of them.
