FINDING HAPPINESS

There is a fairy tale story about a rich merchant, loaded with riches but unhappy. He asked around, "How can I find happiness?" A wise man tells him, "Look for a happy man, and ask him to sell you his shirt."

The merchant searched for a long time until at last he found a happy man. "I want to be as happy as you. Sell me your shirt. I can pay for it."

The happy man started to laugh. He hadn’t got a shirt! He is so poor he goes around without a shirt.

Then the merchant understood. Happiness cannot be found in possessions.
