Long Journey To Happines

By Siva Published 3 years ago 3 min read

Once upon a time, in a far-off land, there lived a young woman named Amira. Amira was known throughout the kingdom for her incredible beauty and her kindness. She lived a simple life in a small village, spending her days helping her neighbors and tending to her garden.

One day, a wealthy prince came to the village. He was struck by Amira's beauty and charm, and he asked her to marry him. Amira, who had never left her village, was hesitant at first, but she was also curious about the world beyond her home. Eventually, she agreed to marry the prince and leave her village behind.

Amira was excited to see the prince's kingdom, but when she arrived, she was dismayed to find that it was a cold and lonely place. The prince spent most of his time in his castle, attending to affairs of state, and Amira was left alone most of the day. She missed her old life and the simple pleasures of tending to her garden and helping her neighbors.

One day, as she was wandering through the castle, she stumbled upon a room she had never seen before. Inside, she found an old map of the kingdom, with a note attached that read: "Follow this map, and you will find the secret to true happiness."

Amira was intrigued and decided to follow the map. She set out early the next morning, carrying only a small bag of supplies and a sense of adventure.

The map led her through forests and over mountains, across rivers and through fields of wildflowers. Along the way, she met all kinds of people, each with their own story to tell. She helped a group of farmers harvest their crops, nursed a sick child back to health, and even helped a group of bandits reform their ways.

As she journeyed deeper into the kingdom, Amira began to realize that the secret to true happiness wasn't something that could be found on a map. It was something that came from within, from the connections she made with others and the sense of purpose she found in helping them.

Finally, after many weeks of traveling, Amira reached the end of the map. She found herself standing at the foot of a great mountain, with a steep, winding path leading to the top.

Amira began the climb, her heart pounding with anticipation. She climbed higher and higher, the air growing colder and thinner with each step. Finally, she reached the top, panting and sweating, but also feeling a sense of triumph she had never known before.

As she stood at the summit, looking out over the kingdom she had traveled through, Amira realized that the true secret to happiness was not a destination, but a journey. It was the people she had met, the challenges she had overcome, and the experiences she had lived through that had given her a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

With this newfound wisdom, Amira descended the mountain and returned to the prince's castle. She spent the rest of her days helping the people of the kingdom, sharing her knowledge and experience with others, and spreading happiness wherever she went. And in doing so, she found that she had created a new kind of happiness, one that was not dependent on wealth or status, but on the connections we make with others and the meaning we give to our lives.

Morel in the story

Morel had always felt that his life lacked something. The fact that he had a loving family, a successful career, and a large network of friends didn't change the fact that he felt unsatisfied. He yearned for more, something that would give him a sense of fulfilment and purpose.

Morel came upon a book on happiness one day. It asserted that the only way to truly find happiness was to embark on a journey that called for bravery, tenacity, and introspection. Intrigued, Morel made the decision to set off on his own quest for fulfilment.

He started by giving up his work and selling his belongings. He headed out on foot without a destination in mind, packing a rucksack with only the necessities. His travels saw him pass through
