Search for happiness

An estimated 1380000000 (138 Crore) Indians will venture out today -- all in search of happiness.
An estimated 3 Crore dogs also will venture out today -- in search of happiness.
An estimated 26 Crore Pigeons will also venture out today -- in search of happiness.
Add to this list ants, cockroaches, crows, mosquitoes -- a total of 80 lakh species all in search of happiness.

And primarily the search for happiness will be in things and in people.

Irony -- this world is a certified place of misery. And yet 138 Crore humans search for that elusive happiness. The dog and cat have no option -- they cannot understand that the certification status of this world. But we humans know. And yet.

Bg. 8.15

कमामुपेत्य पुनर्जन्म दु:खालयमशाश्वतम् ।
नाप्‍नुवन्ति महात्मान: संसिद्धिं परमां गता: ॥ १५ ॥

mām upetya punar janma
duḥkhālayam aśāśvatam
nāpnuvanti mahātmānaḥ
saṁsiddhiṁ paramāṁ gatāḥ

Translation :
           After attaining Me, the great souls, who are yogīs in devotion, never return to this temporary world, which is full of miseries, because they have attained the highest perfection.

HARE KRISHNA!!!
