IDEA OF A HAPPY FAMILY

"Happiness" and "being happy"are relative terms,and they also mean different things to different people.For example,there may be some to whom a happy family would be one having wealth to spend lavishly.On the other hand is the philosophical argument that true happiness springs from 'within'and does not depend on external well-being.In my humble opinion,a truely happy man or family will be one which succeeds in arriving at a balance between the two opposite views.
           Health is essential for happiness.A family having sickly members will be unhappy whatever be its material resources.Persons having ill-health become irritable and peevish and fail to live happily.
           secondly,that ensures happiness of a man or a family is material well-being.Poverty indeed is a great curse.However,too much of material well-being may lead a man or a family away from real happiness
            At the third place I would put education.True education gives discipline and decorum among the members of a family.It teaches adjustment.
           Whatever be the degree of happiness,there will always be.the things in a family to make it sore and sad--disease,death and fluctuations of fortune and many more things.Thus happiness in a family will descend when its members are wise enough to face the odds of life bravely.A happy man is one who has peace of mind.
