Are you happy where you are???

Hi kailah,

I like your stand that you are not unhappy as to where you are now. and I feel people should have the feel of contentment. of course there are some places which are not so suitable for living.

Hi,

I think there is some misunderstanding here. My point was to discuss if one is happy where he/she lives, permanent or temporarily. But you have put your level of job satisfaction. well job too could be something that marks your level of happiness.

hi luvmysons,

This is I guess is quite normal for most of us sometime to feel the way you have had. As you have mentioned you love your place it indicates that you are actually not unhappy but some time fleeting thoughts go stray and strike your idle mind if you were somewhere else it would have been better. Right?

Very true reeyan. This sems sometime as been envisased that we be there where we are. This is the result of situation and circumstance. not necessary that one should be happy where is/she is living but the external phenomenons are such that he/she is bound to be where he/she is.

I can well presume your point there. This is some time a sort of compromise that we make with ourselves and the factor of happiness is your acceptance of the situation and location.

Hi

In addition......

Happiness dwell in the mind of people. So should not allow outer disturbance to sahow over our mind.

Yes of course reeyan. Happiness lies both within and without of our being. Who knows that the place you are not happy to live in might prove a boon for you tomorrow? So the tomorrow aspect and its prospect can not be denied not be rejected.

Hi

In return I just want to say tomorrow never dies.

Yes, tomorrow is as alive as you and me right away. It never dies and should not let die either.

Hi Chaitra,


This IS good decision that you have opted to stay in the rural part of the country. people tend to give more importance to what is on going. and terefore it it is difficult to sat yes or no.

Hi misterwit,

No my friend there is no question of leaving this small town which is far from the madding crowd. I of course do go to my father's home, I mean my ancestral home but here I have made my own home where my father or any sibling can not stake claim to be of theirs.

Oh...! sorry...It's ok you can stay there..

No no you need not say sorry. Suggestions and advices are products tat keep on coming friends. Thank you.

Hi friend,

I admire your commitment towards your home. this is ever better to be able to love the place where one is located either by birth or by profession or job. I know some people whop are not at all happy and at ease in small places or towns. the most often heard complaints are that there are not all the facilities for an enjoyable life.

I fail to understand what they wish to connote with the enjoyable life. The place where I am now is quite small. But I am not unhappy. I am busy with my job, computer, mylot, shopping/marketing, visiting people occasionally and attending social functions.

That is what is is most necessary for living Zandi. When the Industrialization was on its wheel in Europe poets like Pope, Yeats and Wordsworth loathed the urban life and started a search for a peaceful location where peace would fall in drops. I am brought up in city but now settled in a small town where the pollution of the environment and mental serenity is still far away.

Your home place might be far away abut the place where you are installed now is the source of your contentment. What else one should look for more than this?

Hi lukedom,

what you have said is very true. Thanks for the response.

Kudos to your spirit Diana. Though being an English you have so well adapted to the life style of Italy that you are no longer an English now and I think in the races of your mind there lies all the Italy in you more than England.

The feeling of belongingness is great but I lament the fact that this is not to be seen with the Bangladeshi migrants in India and particularly in Assam. They are born and brought up in India but their heart and souls are either in Bangladesh or in Pakistan. Is it justified?

I also appreciate your undying zeal for life that even though you had to sell your house you did not break and consolidated that life has many avenues to look for. Great.....

I have usually been happy wherever I happened to be. I often wonder if it is wrong to say that I prefer life here compared to in UK but if I said I preferred it there then it would be absurd to stay here. I am sure that until someone actually leaves their own country and sets up home somewhere else they cannot understand how others ho do it must be feeling.

It is sad that those from Bangladesh do not feel 'at home' there. Are they unwanted and not made to feel at home?

I believe there is no point in crying over spilt milk Rajib. I had no choice but to sell my home so rather than be sad about it I decided just to put it down to another lesson in life and move on

Ofcourse there is no use crying over the spilt milk but the lesson one gathers is something top store for future.

About those Bangladeshis - most of them are uninvited guests and even after given a chance they do not show gratitude towards the country that has fed them and sheltered them. Ungrateful creatures I call them.
