Where has happiness vanished !!!

According to WHO report India is the 2nd most depressed nation in the entire world, even Pakistan is better than us. And India has the world's largest youth population so basically young people are depressed. 

We spent our childhood running behind some dreams which were given to us by our parents or our society. And in the process we forgot to live. We set a reminder that once this race is over, we'll enjoy life. It wasn't our fault, we were programmed like this. We didn't even realize when and how that race trapped us, it became an infinite loop and now we don't know how to get out of it.

This is the story of almost every youngster in our country. Some of us were able to fulfill all those dreams and some of us failed miserably. But none of us is happy. That dream of good paying job was supposed to bring us happiness, but it became something our parents could boast about. 

No one ever asked that highly successful kid, who is finding his happiness in pubs every Friday night, is he happy? Why would anyone bother, he is supposed to be happy, he has everything now. And that's what life is about, right?

And there is another kind, the one's who failed, there lives were made miserable by everyone around them, sometimes to an extend that they had to end it. Those who are still breathing are still struggling, fighting with themselves because they have lost faith in their own talent. Something inside them is broken and it can not be fixed. 

I haven't seen a single happy face around me in a long time, I have seen people pretending to be happy and that's more irritating. Drinking few beers, getting high is the new happy in town. Or changing the city, leaving for some another country to find new motivation in life is another. We are running after the temporary solution because we live in the present moment, right? But those beers come with a bad hangover and an addiction, they do create an illusion but that's it. Is it how we wanna live the only life we get? 

We are wasting our numbered days doing things we don't like, living with strangers, the people we really love are far away, the things we wanna do are still in that bucket we created.

Love is the only positive energy around, and we don't have that energy in our life anymore. We don't love the work we do, we don't love the people we live with. What exactly this generation is trying to achieve?
