Happy Here Happy Now

Would you be able to appreciate happiness if you weren't ever unhappy? Would you understand satisfaction if you didn't know what it was like to be dissatisfied? Would you understand what was positive if you had no inkling of the concept of negative? Would you know the meaning of peace if there was no war?

Who decides the limit to happiness or to unhappiness? On what basis can you say that your life is the pits right now? Have you really seen the worse? No one has. No one can. For no matter how much you think you've seen the worst, there is always another event or person, who'll beat it to the top spot. Yes, it's a fight to be at the top. To be worse than the other. Forget happiness, forget goodness and forget kindness, this world is pure evil.

So the little happiness you can find, appreciate it. Live the moment. Anyway, you haven't the foggiest idea about what is going to happen tomorrow. No, you only know what you 'think' is going to happen tomorrow. Not what really is going to happen tomorrow. Now by just my asking you to be happy, you're not going to be happy, because you all have your problems. What is going to happen? It'll get bad, it'll get worse, no one is by your side anyway. The so-called 'friends and family' aren't going to be around. Yes, they'll stand by and watch while life prosecutes you, but that's all they'll do. They'll talk to each other about you. Look at the importance you're assuming in people's lives. Yeah, that's the way it should be looked at.

I'm not sure whether this article is happy or sad. Really depends on what you want to make of it. No pressure!
