There wasn't much smiles in the house recently. In today's term, feeling EMO.
I feel there's a need to lighten up people's emotions. Joy is very infectious, you will feel delighted especially when you have someone giggling around.
So what exactly is/are the criteria to be happy, then?
There are so many things that we as human beings crave for: a warm and fuzzy family, a nice sports car and an adorable harsh puppy. Where exactly is the bar for achieving happiness?
The Chinese says, be satisfied in life and be happy always. I find it true.
It is the GREED in all human beings that chased away happiness.
When we have a warm and fuzzy family, we hope we can be richer;
when we have a nice sports car, we hope we have a very nice sports car and a driver;
and when we have an adorable harsh puppy, we hope we can have another adorable harsh puppy that isn't always hungry and preferably, toilet-trained.
Most of us are not satisfied with what we already have in life. "More than" is what we always run after.
However, while we are busy running after these "more than's", haven't we forgotten the people and things that we have taken granted for.
Try looking around, and count your blessings.
Thank God that you have a '92 Toyota that sends you to work everyday, instead of taking the public transport;
Thank God that you have a family of three that adds some life to the four walls at home;
And thank God for the 2 mixed breed puppies in your cage that, at least, help you to guard your gates when you're away from home.
At this point of writing, I realized that the measurement for happiness lies within the individuals.
It's whether you choose to view it as "half filled" or "half empty" glasses.
Let's try to simplify life. Slow down you pace and look around for amazing creations. You'll soon find that it is not so complicated after all.
Ask ourselves: Why do we go to school or work? What do we want to achieve at the end of the day?
I hope you find your answers.
