Pusuit of happiness

Pusuit of happiness

A Poem by mikaelword

Once a group of 500 people were
attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker stopped and
decided to do a group
activity. He started giving each
person a balloon. E...ach person
was then asked to write their name
on it using a marker pen.
Then all the balloons were collected
and put in another room.
The people were then let into that
room and asked to find the
balloon which had their name
written on it within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching
for their name, colliding with
each other, pushing around others
and there was utter chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one
could find their own balloon.
Then, the speaker asked each person
to randomly collect a
balloon and give it to the person
whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their
own balloon.
The speaker then began, "This is
happening in our lives.
Everyone is frantically looking for
happiness all around, not
knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness
of other people. Give them
their happiness; you will get your
own happiness. And this is the
purpose of human life...the pursuit
of happiness.
