Inspiration On 1/24/12

An ancient parable tells that the Lord God, who created the
earth, did not want to give happiness to women and men directly,
but rather hide it from them so that they could search for it. So
the Lord called a council of the good spirits and asked where
happiness could be hidden.

One spirit suggested that the bottom of the sea would be a good
place as people would not be able to reach it. But Lord did not
think it a suitable place as they could dive down and find it.

Another suggested that it be hidden in the deepest mine. But
again the Lord said they would soon discover it.

Finally the idea came that it be hidden in the depths of men's
and women's hearts, because they would look for happiness
everywhere except within themselves...

Have you been searching for peace and contentment?

Happiness is, after all, an inside job.
