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.
