Can beauty, money, fame and a host of worldly things bring happiness. May be for some people who also have inner peace and equilibrium. But these things cannot bring happiness to the people whose self is immersed in the pride and lives only in the reactive sphere of being recognised and gratified by others.
The suicide of Viveka, Kamasutra condom supermodel, is just one of the many examples. It is not to say that people with wealth and beautiful body figures are not happy. If there is some inner equilibrium, and if the core of the person is well composed of happiness and clarity, the other external things will enhance it. Most of the glam world stars live far away from themselves. Though we cannot say what exactly prompted her to end the life, it is an end reaction of the feeling that no amount of happiness is possible with this life.
It promises a certain sense of feeling or understanding to our system of emotional balance.
We are always yearning for eternal imbalance so that we can achieve higher levels of unhappiness and sorrow only then we tell ourselves and our environment that we are happy. Being unhappy is contentment whereas happiness is fullfillment of a void that we do not know or seek.
