ALTERNATIVE OF HAPPINESS. My dear, happiness is a state of mind, it springs from inside and do not come from out side. You will try for whole of your life but you will not find it. Happiness is not with money, wife, children, house, car, boy friend etc. Remember things, situation and people that give you happiness, only these can give you Sadness. There is a technique called "vipassana" that teaches us how to stay calm, quite in every situation. Morning comes because it has to go, night comes because it has too go. Bad days are here because they have to pass, good days will come because they too will have to pass. Nothing stays forever. But happiness can stay forever with above mentioned understanding of knowledge.
