Joy of being common.

As a child many of us might have heard that story of a king in search of the happiest person on the earth and ultimately it was known that it was a beggar who had nothing to lose,who was most happy. The common man today has innumerable problems and a different strife each day,but the joy of life only comes in small packages.The need of the hour is to grasp it. From the monotonous daily affairs to happiness of the soul-the journey starts only with one word called "Enthusiasm". It was rightly said :

"Far from the madding crowd's ignoble strife
Their sober wishes never learned to stray;
Along the cool sequestered vale of life
They kept the noiseless tenor of their way."

'Another candle on the altar' can only live its full life if it knows how to breathe in, its own share of fresh sunshine,cool air and solid ground beneath.
