Making Others Happy - Anoushka Vinod

To get true happiness, you need to make someone feel it. Life is full of twists and turns. You are bound to see a
dark time in life. That's okay! All you need to do is turn on the light. In our session, we learnt about making others
happy. I realised that if we want to have pleasure in life, we need to fill happiness in someone else's. I read how
Walt Disney was always trying to make people happy. I adore Disney movies. Getting to know the story behind
them was very intriguing. 

A personal incident that I had with making others happy was very heartwarming. Whenever I used to stand at my
bus stop, I always saw this dog who used to come sniffing everyone's lunch boxes for food early in the morning.
This continued for days, and I started feeling pitiful about it. I came back home that day and asked my mother to
give me extra food for the dog. From that day onwards, I thought about offering food every day.

I want to make a change in the world. I want everyone to experience contentment instead of anxiety, sorrow and
rage. You can only feel joy when you are determined not to fall into anger's trap. To finish off, I would like to
write a well-known quote stated by Charlie Chaplin - "A day without laughter is a day wasted."

 "The Happiest People are the ones who make others happy." 

We all constantly wish to be happy, but do we know how to attain it or is it just a state of euphoria we are running after? We need riches to satisfy our greed, but not our happiness. Happiness can be even ensured by a meal, a gesture or a smile but what matters the most is that you are aware of what makes you happy. Happiness is not an extreme feeling that may appear in a rare situation; it may be as subtle as your smile when you discern the blossoming flowers in your garden, or it may be a state of gaiety while riding up a roller coaster ride. Happiness has many faces; it is up to us to seek the right one. 

As humans, one of our traits has always been to be self-centralized, but sometimes we need to step away from the centre and see the scene from a spectator's perspective. The agony of the common masses can change the ideology of a man; when we have so much but are still not happy whereas they are satisfied with the little they have, then we understand the true worth of happiness. Our happiness is nothing compared to theirs, but all we can do is make them happy.

Some extraordinary people who paved the path for others to be happy are Walt Disney and Charlie Chaplin. Walt Disney is not merely a name. It has been a hope for people anticipating a joyful day, his contributions have been cherished through generations, and his works have lit up smiles on millions of faces. Charlie Chaplin was another cause for the ringing laughter of many. His distinctive yet humorous style had been admired worldwide, and his playfulness with pain made him an exceptional actor and a humble human being. 

All of us have our own unique ways to be happy, it may be by cooking a meal, going on a shopping spree or simply spending time alone. We can be satisfied, but the greater joy lies in making others happy. For instance, when I used to call my cousin to wish her on Christmas, this year I went the extra mile to make her a card and send it by post all the way to her home. Her smile was worth the effort, and the satisfaction I received after her response cannot be accurately described in a few words. 

The Beauty of Life does not depend on how happy you are, but how happy others can be because of you...

Making Others Happy - Aanya Kumar

In the reading session on 16/1/2022, I understood that Making others happy makes you happy. 

In the words of Mother Teressa, "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier." Truly making others happy, the smiles light up our day. One such person who made others happy was Charlie Chaplin. You must remember how he made you laugh in his TV shows or another medium.

His father died, and his mother developed a severe illness when he was of very little age. The pain he experienced made his mind divert to humour. By hiding his pains and making others smile, he became happier himself.

As most people say, make others happy, and you will be satisfied. We should practice making others happy by simple acts such as giving old clothes or food to those who need it. It makes them happy, and that light upon their face enlightens our day.
