looking for happiness

One evening, there was a young man sitting with a blank stare at the lake's water.
He has traveled to various places, but nothing can make him happy.

Suddenly a soft voice broke the silence.
"What are you doing here, young man?" Asked a well-known wise teacher who lived nearby.

The young man turned and said. _ "I'm tired, Teacher. I've walked this far in search of happiness, but I don't get that feeling. I don't know where else I should look ... "complained the young man with a grim face.

"There is a park in front. Go there and catch a butterfly. After that I will answer your question, "said the teacher.

Despite feeling hesitant, the young man went also in the designated direction.

Arriving there, he was amazed to see a beautiful garden with trees and blooming flowers and butterflies flying around.

From a distance the teacher saw the young man settle towards his target.
Hap ... !!
That goal escaped.
He pursued butterflies in the other direction.
Hap ... !!
Again, failed.
He ran irregularly, crashing on grass, flowers, bushes.
But, none of the butterflies were caught.

The teacher approaches and stops the young man.
_ "Is that how you pursue happiness? Busy running to and fro, bumping into indeterminate directions, even breaking through no matter what you are damaged? ”_

The teacher wisely and gently continues, "Son, looking for happiness like catching a butterfly.
_ You don't need to catch the butterfly physically, let it fill the universe according to its function.
_ Catch the beauty of the colors, flutter their wings in your mind, and keep them in your heart.

_So also with happiness.
Happiness is not something that can be held and stored somewhere.
Where is nothing, but where it is.
Care is as good as possible, appearing at any time with gratitude, then without you knowing that happiness will often come alone. Do you understand?"

The young man was stunned and suddenly his face smiled happily.
"Thank you, teacher. What a valuable lesson. I will go home and bring this happiness in my heart ... "

The teacher raised his hand.
Soon, a butterfly perched on the tip of the finger and flapped its wings, radiating the beauty of God's creation.
The color is so beautiful, as beautiful as happiness for those who are able to explore it ...
