Happiness is a Universal Value
ByI just watched a great documentary on the Big Bang that started the Universe. Some say it is the ultimate question; how did the Universe begin, why, where is it headed? The Universe theoretically came from nothing and exploded into massive size in a few seconds at trillions of degrees fourteen billions of years ago.
It took a few hundred million years for sub atomic particles to cool down and form matter. Nine billions years later, the sun, the earth and our solar system were formed. Someone is not in a hurry.
There are billions of galaxies and maybe more universes. It can make the things we trifle over look rather small; even ridiculous. What we do is not going to affect the Universe and will have a hard time affecting earth. Maybe the most we can hope for is creating a better atmosphere in our own circle of influence.
Everyone responds to happy people and feel better for knowing them. Realizing that we have to deal with annoying things everyday, like making a living, shouldn’t detract from the fact we are part of something very very big. The more closely we can connect through appreciation that everything came from nothing, the more amazed we are. Even humans become complex creatures from just one cell.
The Universe is a giver. It just keeps giving. We can emulate that characteristic. The more we give, the happier we become. If you were going to pay it forward, you could make others happy knowing they in turn might make their associations more meaningful.
The human brain can’t do any better than happiness. The neurotransmitters that are associated with happiness like serotonin and dopamine respond to good deeds, engagement in activities that create flow, gratitude, generosity, inspiration.
You don’t have a billion years to get it right, so why not start now making a big difference.
