Latha K. Murthy is a humble and shy person who values honesty and sincerity. These qualities have shaped her life and inspired her book, Live Happily Ever After. In this heartfelt book, Latha shares her thoughts about life and offers a fresh perspective that can help people find happiness along with our usual pursuit of success and wealth.
Observing Life
Latha didn’t plan to write a book; instead, she began to observe things in life without bias. The children and teens losing their spontaneous laughter on reaching adulthood baffled her. The observations and self inquiries led her to some revelations about life which she wanted to share with all. She believes that changing how we view our lives can lead to happiness.
In her book, Latha talks about the ever-going universal theme; the search for a happy life. All of us dream of living happily ever after, but too often, we finish it in an incomplete, dejected, and confused mood. For many of us, life seems to be a constant struggle. Instead of finding the cause, we often pass that pain on to others. Latha encourages readers to think about this tragedy and how a small change in perception can make a big difference.
Embracing Oneness
The core of Latha’s message is the idea of the Oneness of the world. She believes that when we realize that we are all part of the larger Whole, we can find peace within ourselves and with our communities. Recognizing our shared humanity can help us to move beyond our individual challenges and find comfort in each other. In that stage, you won’t be against anyone and would feel none against you.
Latha also draws our attention to Buddhist teachings, especially the idea that craving for things is leading to suffering. Since we, humans are designed differently i.e. to move higher and higher, we couldn’t follow Buddha and so struggle in life. Latha suggests that by simply changing our perspective, we can achieve both peace and higher positions in life. Her book reminds us that we can feel our natural happiness within us, just with a simple change of perception of the world.
