once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar.
suddenly the speaker stopped and decide to do a group activity.
so he handed a balloon to each person and told everybody to write their name on the balloon using a marker pen. then all the balloons were collected and put in another room.
now these people were let into that room and asked to find the balloon with their name on it within five minutes. everybody was searching frantically for their name, colliding with each other, pushing around each other. it was chaotic. and at the end of the five minutes
no one could find their own balloon.
now these people were asked to collect a random balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. within minutes everyone had their own balloon again.
the speaker began, 'exactly this is happening in our lives - everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is.
but our happiness lies in the happiness of other people -
give them their happiness; you will get your own.
and this is the purpose of human life.'
