A cookie for the happy man !

As the day goes by, sometimes I wonder.... I wonder when or what makes a man truly happy ? Is he happy when he gets what he wants? Is he happy when he gets the recognition he thinks he deserves? Is he happy when he is the leader of all ? When all subjects bow to his command ? Does wealth and prosperity really bring the kind of happiness that we assume it would ? Truth to be told, after more than a quarter of a century of my existence, I have come to believe that none of them can bring true happiness. Happiness is a state of mind and doesn't need any trigger. We as individuals determine if we are happy or not. Chasing down a dream and for that matter even achieving it wont make us happy, it just makes us empty. Makes us crave for more. True happiness is the one which we can experience without any trigger, without any precondition, without any strings attached. And for those of you who think you a are happy this way, heres a cookie from me, wishing I would one day become that happy man !
