Why we are unhappy?

Why we are unhappy?
Each one of us have some inner urge (desire) in some particular field of life. Only a fraction of a percentage of the children born are lucky to get started in their own field from childhood. Perhaps for some it might have started even before birth when they are in their mothers' wombs through the readings, thinking and discussions on the particular field by the mother. After birth also this support from the parents continue. Such children become outstanding or prodigies in that field. 

Most of the others are not lucky. In these cases what happens is that the parents have their own ideas or priorities about the future of their children. The children have their urge which is at variance with what the parents want them to be. Under this compulsion, the children are brought up in field in which they have not the desire. The urge of the individual is latent and is known only by a concerted effort on the part of the individual to find it out by constant searching in their mind. 

The parents are conditioned by their circumstances. They are interested in a good support for themselves, if they are not financially sound. They want the children to be well off when they grow. If the parents are well off, then they will try to bring the children to be in a higher level than they are. 

At a later date when the children grow up and are comfortable, their inner urge try to come out. So they feel that there is something lacking in them. When they are not in a position to change over to the line of life of their desire as they have gone too much in the current way of life, they become unhappy.
