Joy & Happines

What is happiness?

Is it the warm feeling that you get when you accomplish something significant, or is it that great sensasion of being loved?

Is it the infectious grin that you conspiratorially return when you see a loved one smiling?

Is it the serene feeling that comes with the knowledge that everything seems right in your world?

Or is it just the opposite of unhappiness?

It almost seems to be a rhetorical question.

You wouldn’t ask if you were happy.
Am I happy because I am simple-minded?
Or is my ignorance my bliss?

Am I happy only because I am not asking myself the ‘big’ questions?

How can I be happy when there is so much pain in the world?

Am I so selfish that I let myself enjoy my little victories and the petty accomplishments of those whom I deem ‘important’ enough while the rest of the world burns?

No.

Humanity has survived because it has been equal to every challenge that has faced it so far.

I am confident that we will continue to be.

Why am I so confident when we have weapons that can end humanity in a flash of fear?

Because I am. I am still alive.

I stubbornly continue my struggle.

Everyday I am challenged and I accept the challenges that life offers, not as a signal o stringth, but the alternative is unacceptable for me

so I accept the oppourtunities that life offers not knowing the payments but only hoping that these payments wouldn\t be costing to loose the hope itself.

Sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. but I always learn.

And with each challenge accepted, I get stronger.

I learn more and understand more with each defeat, with each victory, with each challenge.

I embrace life, the people who were their for me, I embrace her as the flower of my garden. The sweet of my life. the sun of my universe, and yet the pain of a new lesson learned, the .exquisite. scent of accomplishment.

To live is to accept change but never give up hope.
Stagnation is death.
To truly live is to accept the death of the ‘old’ me and embrace the ‘new’ me.
An improved .me. .

My old self staggers and retreats, endeavouring to learn as much from the conflict as possible and a new, more experienced me emerges from the cocoon I fashioned for my protection, ready for the next lesson.

What is happiness?

Happiness is living life passionately in the pursuit of ‘that which does not kill us, to make us stronger’.

I choose Life.

I choose Doud as a Hope.
