Flat screen TV, wii, virtual offices, e-business, robot-dogs, 3G mobile phones and iPods are glaring samples of items that buy you some time. By next month or another year these will become obsolete and old news.

Thankfully, simple facts and truths remain whether you have the latest tech gadgetry or the not there are things that are. When you think of it, a person enjoying the color of the sky as the sun begins to rise feels the same as another in a different part of the world. A moving story of triumph over adversity will always inspire people to plod on despite of rocky times. The sense of friendship, against all odds is solid even if it risking yourself. Happiness is never changing, even others attempt to adulterate it.

Happiness and good deeds are so easy to mouth off but living it and acting upon it is difficult altogether. Since I last checked, good meant doing a deed that made a 'happy' ripple effect. Like a chain, it must be inked by happiness, a break in chain because of hurt and a bothered spirit negates the action. Happiness is not equated with the suffering of others. Self satisfaction never begets happiness, it may be mistaken for it but it would never equal it.

For a better gauge of happiness just remember : “Anything good will not result into anything bad; and anything bad can never come out of good.”
