- A prince named Siddhartha Gautama was born in India around 550 BCE and displayed signs at birth that he would become either a great king or a great spiritual leader.
- As he grew up, Siddhartha was shielded from seeing suffering in the world. But after seeing an old man, sick man, and dead man, he realized the universal truth of suffering and gave up his luxurious life to find a way to end suffering.
- After meditating for years, Siddhartha attained enlightenment and discovered the Four Noble Truths and Eightfold Path, the teachings of Buddhism. He was known thereafter as the Buddha, or "enlightened one."
The document discusses the meaning behind family and marriage. It defines family as Father, And, Mother, I, Love, You to emphasize the importance of parents and love within a family. It also lists reasons why a man wants a wife, such as for washing, ironing, food, and entertainment, and why a woman wants a husband for housing, understanding, sharing, buying, and never demanding. Finally, it suggests sending a personalized "hello" message to loved ones to check in on their well-being and express that they are missed.
The document discusses how people often convince themselves that they will be happier once they achieve certain life milestones like getting married, having children, or retiring. However, true happiness is found in the present moment rather than waiting for the future. The author argues that life is always full of challenges and obstacles, so it is better to accept this and choose happiness now rather than waiting for some future time when life is supposed to begin. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. People should enjoy each moment rather than constantly waiting for the future to arrive before allowing themselves to feel happy.
