The longer he lived, the more bile he was becoming and the more poisonous were his words. People avoided him, because his misfortune became contagious. It was even unnatural and insulting to be happy next to him.
He created the feeling of unhappiness in others.
But one day, when he turned eighty years old, an incredible thing happened. Instantly everyone started hearing the rumor:
“An Old Man is happy today, he doesn’t complain about anything,smiles, and even hisface isfreshened up.” The whole village gathered together. The old man was asked: Villager: What happened to you? “Nothing special. Eighty yearsI’ve been chasing happiness, and it was useless. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”
Moral of the story:
Don’t chase happiness. Enjoy your life.

Zayd ibn Thabit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Whoever makes the world his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world but what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it.”

Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Al-Albani

I know there are big troubles in the world. Injustice, oppression, humiliation everywhere. But in vain, you can't help on that.
There are troubles within you, too. Even not small troubles! You can deal only with these. I know, with the help of smart opinion dictators in a pub, the situation in the Middle East can be solved in two minutes, but even after five drinks or six, the situation in the Middle East will remain the same no matter of their cleverness. However, when you go home, your family will miss the price of the five drinks and the time you could have spent with them in love. Instead, meaningless figures like Orbán, Gyurcsány captured your tiny "Hungarian" brain, who, if you think it through, injected hatred and division inside you. In fact, when you go home, you also import your "national fuck" into your family.
Do you think this is life? Do you have to deal with this? Do you think you should live your life in national, Mexican or Turkish soap operas? Those bring you a lying, distracting world that is sure to cause peace in your mind for a while, but once you live in them, you become a captive. When you look at your side, you can see your child there, for whom you cannot assure to integrate gradually into the world's community, where the boundaries of thinking have long ago overrun the boundaries of your village. Shouldn't you rather care about him/her?

Let the superfluous words fly away which will not bring a solution to your life. Let go away the desires that falsely present opportunities for you. Take on your own size and just think about what the message of life is for you! Not the message of your neighbor, but the one what is sent for you!

In the parable above, the old man pursued happiness throughout his life, but it ran away from him, eventually he became unhappy and sad. Don't chase anything. Rejoice for what life brings to you. Because everything coming in your way is a message, a Sign. If you don't understand these Signs, you will lose all chance of finding joy in this world and in the afterlife. The mentioned hadith referred to this.
Evaluate: Whom did the "coincidence" bring to your way? What unexpected events have had a messaging effect in your life? What offers did you get for a job, contact, or even a good word, consolation? Should not distract from these Signs any kind of daily event in which you can only be a victim. Believe me, anyone who delivers an inspirational speech in the position of power does not do it in order to share power with you. However, there is the One who sends Signs which are messages to rely on them and make yourself carry with the waves that He is directing towards you!
