HAPPINESS

Happiness refers to the mental state of emotional well-being such as:feeling pleasurable, cheerful, and joyful,being contended and satisfied,being joyful delighted.Different person attains the state of happiness by different modes. Hence, they follow different paths to achieve happiness.The Indian scriptures and sages say that the true happiness lies in renunciation, not in acquisition. Mundane and transitory pleasures, comforts and wealth are the impediments that take one away from the goal of happiness. The Indian heritage defines man as the son of God who is sent into this world to fulfill a mission.But whatever might be said by our sages or written in our scriptures, man has always been found anxious to acquire personal happiness and mundane glory. Though he is baffled and buffeted his quest for happiness and physical well-being does never end, not is he ever tired of exploring newer avenues. He does not seem to agree with the sages of the past and the wise of the present when they preach that more one suffers in this world the surer would be his chance of enjoying happiness in the other world. He appears to be more eager for happiness and pleasures and prosperity in this world. Instead of waiting for peace of the grave he is more interested in the transitory happiness of life.But when we look around us we find the wealthy, affluent, distinguished and the rulers rather miserable – their discontent and worries growing with each passing day. On the other hand, the beggars in the street are found happily singing the glory of life and sleeping in peace in spite of their penury. Such comparisons show life as enigmas, and happiness remains a riddle that refuses to be resolved. Thus, Money can’t buy happiness.
Often we find that happiness differs in degrees, and it is quite relative – not absolute. One is content with very little, like the cobbler who works the whole day, earns little and still happy enough to sing and sleep in peace. But the other, very rich, is simple born to be unhappy, his discontent robbing him of his sleep and peace of mind. Even when he has succeeded in plucking the moon his insatiable desire for plucking the sun keep haunting him in his sleep. It is a sort of malaise that stands in the way of his attaining the goal of happiness.

BELL PEPPER

Bell peppers are in demand for their highly nutritional value and their relatively high tolerance for production in varying seasons. The taste ranges anywhere from sweet for the red pepper, to some bitterness for green and purple bell peppers. They are grown and are available year round, but the best crops are produced in the summer and autumn months.
Bell peppers are considered a staple ingredient, adding to various meals such as salads and stir fries. However, they do see a life beyond being the simple garnish and shine in the spotlight of some dishes; for example as stuffed peppers.
As bell peppers continue to mature and change color, the vitamin C content continues to rise with that of the sugar content – which explains the sweeter flavors in bright colored bell peppers.
For their size, bell peppers have tremendous nutritional value and provide great health benefits for the human body. They do not contain capsaicin – the spicy component in chili peppers. According to a DRI report, one medium-sized green bell pepper contains 177% of the RDA for vitamin C, which is necessary to maintain good cardiac and vascular health. The rich vitamin C content in bell peppers mixed with the carotenoids, or antioxidants, may help prevent cancer by destroying cancer cells.
Other important ingredients include vitamin A, lycopene, and lutein, which are necessary for eye health and prevent the formation of cataracts and other eye diseases. Sulfur and manganese are used by the body for growth and development of bones and aid in maintaining tissue health. The enzymes, cryptoxanthin and zeaxanthin, also found in bell peppers, are anti-inflammatory agents that, along with vitamin C and carotenoids, may help prevent cancer. All these nutrients are what make the bell pepper very beneficial to the maintenance of good health.
These juicy, crisp vegetables are also an excellent source of dietary fiber and retain the most nutritional value when eaten raw. If you are cooking the bell peppers, the best way to retain their vitamins and minerals is to cook at a low temperature for a short amount of time.
