A software engineer in Bangalore city of India, who works in a company in a good position with a good salary, is asking on X (formerly Twitter) how to be happy.

He shares his pain and says, “I have a good job in a city like Bangalore with a package of 58 lakhs, but I am still not happy, nor do I have a girlfriend, all my friends are busy in their own lives. And I am struggling with loneliness. Bored with the same kind of life, I don’t even want to leave this company. Because I am afraid of taking on new challenges, what should I do and how can I achieve happiness?”

This software engineer has all the facilities and money but is still not happy. Some people have written in his reply that they too are not happy despite having money and facilities. People have tried doing everything from going to the gym to going for a walk but they are not happy.

With this, a debate has started on whether money is necessary to be happy.
People have different opinions about this, for some money is important and for others, it is not. However, It is believed that man is a social creature who can be happy only with his loved ones, he can never share happiness alone.

Here are the things you can do which are in your control:
  • Love yourself. Think about yourself first, everything else later. Because in this era everyone is selfish and thinks about his interests. When you don’t do this, your chances of being sad increase.
  • Don’t expect anything from another person, don’t expect love in return, nor good behavior in return, accept what you get in return.
  • Imagine the worst happening beforehand, this will make it less devastating when it happens to you.
