Rushing - towards Happiness??

     We're inundated with the idea that the pace of life is insanely fast, and accelerating! We're mindlessly striving - we assume - to be happy. However mindlessness, time-poverty, and striving, in and of themselves, cause suffering, not happiness. Relentless workaholism is literally killing people - it's so common in Japan that they've coined a name for it: karoshi.
     Mindfulness is an intelligent, viable option!
 
     Mr. Singh in the picture below - the one pulling the rickshaw - is as happy as the average American. He's interviewed in the multi-award-winning 2011 documentary movie "Happy."
