I happened to read this article, so I thought it is so relevant to post.
Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker
stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to
write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were
collected and put in another room.
Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon
which had their name written, within 5 minutes.
Everyone was frantically searching for their name, pushing, colliding
with each other, and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes, no
one could find their own balloon.
Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the
person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their
own balloon.
The speaker began: This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is
frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their
happiness, you will get your own happiness.
And this is the purpose of human life.
