Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
Suddenly the speaker
stopped and decided to do a group activity. He started giving each one a
balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then
all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
Now these
delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their
name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their
name, colliding with each other, pushing around others and there was utter
chaos.
At the end of 5 minutes no one could find their own
balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to
the person whose name was written on it.
Within minutes everyone had their
own balloon.
The speaker began— exactly this is happening in our lives.
Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it
is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their
happiness; you will get your own happiness.
And this is the purpose of human
life.
