Happened to watch movie 'The Pursuit of Happiness' this weekend. Its worth watching. It's based on true story of 'Chris Gardner', the smart salesman and family man in San Francisco.
This movie reminded me of an age old saying "Struggle For Existence".
Points that were exposed :
-> Self-Confidence in hard-time, when world goes against you.
-> Art of Listening of the Child.
This movie blossomed a fact that Self-Confidence needs a support. It's human attitude. Support may not always be from a guide or an elder. Support may be from a child, who appears to knew nothing, a mere dependent. In movie, for Smith, his Son is his base. With this base, he could able to uphold his self confidence. Love transcends anything. Its the essence of life. It boosts one's confidence, even when the whole world turns against you.
Some of my friends said this movie shows that the pursuit of happiness lies in achieving what you dream. I feel there's thin line of misinterpretation that creeps in here. Happiness is not something you have to search for and achieve it. In reality, materialistic things, which you achieve will not stand with you forever. So i say, even if you find happiness through achievement, remember its transient.
By the above thought, i am being tempted to say that happiness should come from something which is not transient, which is omnipresent and omnipotent. I feel its nothing but your innerSELF.
Dear friend, try to be in touch with your Heart, you feel the real happiness.
