"A man travels the world over in search of what he needs and returns home to find it," observed George Moore. Count Maurice Maeterlinck's "The Bluebird" illustrates this point. A woodcutter's boy and girl, Tyltyl and Mytyl, keep a blackbird in a cage in their home. What they want, however, is the bluebird of happiness. The two siblings set out from their modest hut in search of the desired bluebird. The twosome wander through many lands but return home disappointed and discouraged. Then, to their dismay, the blackbird they had lent to an ill child next door had turned into a bluebird. The fabulous bluebird of happiness was theirs all the time. Happiness is not a possession we search for. Rather, it is a blessing present in everything we experience. The moral is to quit searching for happiness but start realizing and enjoying happiness where you are.  Quote this article on your site | Views: 406 | Print | E-mail
