When do you know you are happy ?

When do you know you are happy ? Actually never because most of us realise only after loosing it. How ironic and yet how typically human. Other animals seem to be content with their lives most of the time, while we seem to deeply in love with whining. I am also a part this category to a large extent and still can’t understand why it is like that.

Why we tend to take happiness for granted or rather say always keep trying to find some fault and prove that we are not happy. Do we just love problems or what ? Cause I definitely find myself and many other people searching for problems that never existed before. Unlike many other unfortunate people, we don’t have to fight for basic needs like food & shelter, so we get ourselves busy with useless problems like – “I just can’t get rid of these pimples… I hate my life” – “I have to go to office and work… I hate my life” – “My parents just don’t understand me… I hate my life” – “I have nothing to wear for the party tonight … I hate my life” …… wow! really?

Think about it again. While you are busy complaining about not being able to find your favourite lip-gloss, there are many people going off to sleep without uttering a word about their empty stomach… mainly because they are not left with any energy to complain. I am not suggesting that you become Mother Terresa and give away everything… all I am saying is… start valuing what you have. Enjoy the life you are blessed with and be happy.

Have a nice day.

Cheers !

 

WHITE LIES AND BLACK TRUTHS

Was watching this movie – “Invention of Lying” – woah … half the people would have killed each other or themselves if the world was really like that :/

For people who haven’t seen the movie – it starts with the imagination of a world where no one ever lied about anything. People just speak out blunt truth right in your face :/

Most of the people would prefer to hear a white lie than a bitter truth. The art of sugar-coating is compulsory for all the social animals… and it is not limited to just day to day small talks.  Everyone lies once in a while … including to one’s self. And for the things we don’t want to hear and also can’t lie about… we simply choose to ignore. For example – we would rather keep ourselves busy with news about celebrity gossips than learning about never ending riots in Kashmir. We would be more interested in reviews of a new food joint in the city than worrying about many poor kids dying because of hunger and poverty.  It’s the beauty of human brain you can say, that we can choose to remember only what we like and forget or ignore that we can’t handle. It’s not only natural but also good, living with painful thoughts on your mind all the time would be quite difficult I believe.

You know what I am saying… so not gonna elaborate and just end it here without pushing you to the limit of saying – “shut it lady …” (Yeah ! I couldn’t think of a better ending ;D )

Cheers !
