Ans. we have not taking the responsibility for our happiness. We always consider that happiness came from outside but in real true happiness come from inside. True happiness have link with the true being of our personality. When we are going to loss someone then the broken heart is natural but we also destroy our happiness and peace with that person and destroy them after going back to that person. When we put our happiness with something then for happiness we are going to depend on that thing. In the film, the direct also show that many people have different source of happiness and their life is full of happiness as their demand for material elements are very low and they didn’t rely on any person for their happiness. So when we are going to attach our happiness with some other person than the control of our happiness is gone and we are completely depend on other for our own happiness. And for this we have to take all the source of happiness in our hands and only depend on our personal resources to become happy or spend a happy life because happiness is the name of internal relaxation and peace of mind.
