I am not saying one should not be happy. I mean, c'mmon why wouldn't someone want to feel good about the day just spent...
But lately I have realized that it is important to understand what 'happiness' is. Somehow after having experienced a couple of things in my life I now feel I was highly disillusioned by my understanding of the same.
This blog ain't about what happiness is. I guess different people perceive/define it differently. But in the recent times I have come to realize how myopic my outlook was towards life. I suddenly feel I have grown up... errrr, matured I mean :)
It wasn't an easy realization but yes, it called for a completely new outlook towards life. The 'GOOD things in BAD times' really taught me a lot. I just feel like enlisting a few prominent ones. The list wouldn't be exhaustive considering my brain cannot recollect everything at this given instance.
- You realize your inner strength, which you are oblivious to otherwise (I feel) and it is such a pity that one is unaware of the abundant strength that dwells within every individual.
- You know who your real friends are :)
- The word 'Selflessness' takes a all new meaning in the form of people who are just there to make you believe that the world is still as beautiful as you thought it ever was.
- God, do you introspect or what :D
- Family is the best support system anyone can get. Period :)
- Rationality suddenly seems to be the buzz word *chuckles*
- Knowing that Logic wins hands down against Emotions :|
- Ruthlessly pampered :D *Laughs devilishly*
- Constantly reminded how good you are :D :D *Laughs a little more*
- Development of an undying faith in a superior being (may not be true for all)
- A belief in 'Whatever happens, happens for the good' * Thinks about it again as I read it, nods her head, says, 'This is so freaking true' *
