Avinash Tiwary Instagram – HAPPINESS is the most PRIVILEGED emotion. Apparently, Happiness is the only purpose in one’s life… It is the only emotion that we have been made to truly desire. All the other emotions are like the unwanted child, You have them, but they never gain your indulgence… Since childhood, one is made to embark on a journey in ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ This imaginary , illusionary state of being where everything feels right. One wonders what makes us have this step-treatment with the other emotions? Why do we not aim to pursue a wholesome life? Why have we not given equal value and worth to all emotions? हे पुरुषश्रेष्ठ (अर्जुन)! जो पुरुष सुख तथा दुख में समभाव(equanimity) रहता है, वह निश्चित रूप से मुक्ति के योग्य है This idea has been a part of our culture since the time of Gita, and yet, somewhere in our evolution and the idea of growth we have been exploited with the idea of the ‘Pursuit of Happiness’. I see us fight for inclusivity and I find it most important to fight for the inclusivity of all emotions. We need to NORMALISE ALL EMOTIONS! We need to desire them and accept them as they are. And, maybe accept that the ‘Pursuit of Happiness is a Myth’. Let’s truly pursue Wholesomeness. And truly experience Being Human! #QuarantineChronicles #ATQuarantineChronicles T-shirt designed by @swatitiwary @titiksharout
