What Makes Your Loved One HAPPY Need not be the BEST Thing for Them

Two incidents happened in my life recently that made me realize that there can be a difference between what makes someone happy and what is the best thing for them.

First Incident

Recently, my mother came to visit me in Dharamshala. She lives in Panipat with the rest of the family i.e father and a younger brother.

She is quite fond of tea. She has told me umpteen times that getting a tea after waking up first thing in the morning sitting in a balcony on the top floor is a heavenly experience for her. It makes her extremely happy.

So, I served her bed tea twice. So far so good. But on the third day, she had acid reflux. Due to this, she could not leave the house.

Second Incident

My wife loves water balls very much. She had it at a function a few days ago. She was very happy that day.

The next day, she was down with fever and body pain. It’s been a week now and she is gradually recovering from Typhoid.
