Happiness is not living in a fool’s paradise.
It is not living in oneself oblivious of the outside world.
Life is not a bed of roses.
Here one has to struggle and fight for justice.
All our actions are with a view to some results. But often we fail to achieve that result. Sometimes we get even opposite results than our expectations.
In essence, it teaches us that one should do one’s duty without being unduly concerned about its results. It does not mean that one should do whatever without regard to its consequences. In fact, duty means prescribed duty. Its results cannot be undesirable. But the action may result in success or failure. We should not be unduly concerned with this. The cause of all unhappiness is thwarted desires. This does not teach us to be indifferent to the results of our actions and do them indifferently. It teaches us to do our best.
Yet, if you come to think of it, it is the best theory about life. Attachment brings uncertainty, worry, and tension. In fact, this non-attachment to the results is very psychological too.
Too much worry about the results of our actions affects the latter negatively.
BE HAPPY!
