Sometimes I write because I'm HAPPY... :-)

[Sometimes I write because I'm HAPPY. Sometimes I become HAPPY because I choose to write. :-)]

 

Last night. Last night, I was little sad. Sad in a surprised way. Sad in a 'now-what?' 'how come?' state.

 

There were some amount of thoughts playing in my mind, each trying to suppress the other. I had a strange apprehension, possibly because there is a certain limit to which the mind can accommodate conflicts. That made me hungry and filled up every thought in my mind. Started questioning myself – 'how can I be so carefree'. But you have been honest and noble. You, made me realize that it is an event in life when you fail, you become fearless. It feels good because the entire process is a path to self discovery.

 

"You haven't been sad in a while, and this realization came to you when you started thinking about it. This is just another event – yes another event, which will not determine the rest of your life. Think about the beautiful day you had; you have a freedom tonight and a beautiful Sunday morning is waiting for you." – your words came true as if you had scripted the event. :p

 

There is a fine line between happiness and sadness. It's always evident when we are crossing from happiness to sadness. But, somehow we don't realize when we cross that line from sadness to happiness. Perhaps this the reason why we don't appreciate our happiness, and complain when we are sad. We are so accustomed to complaining about sadness that at some point it comes naturally to us - like muscle memory - a reflex action. Perhaps sadness wouldn't be so bad if we appreciated the happy moments in life. Sadness wouldn't be so hurtful if we believed that we could be happy again, just like we were before. A few setbacks don't determine our worth, let alone our happiness in life.

 

One morning you wake up and suddenly the sun is shining. It is faint because the mind is still aware of the chill, but the heart feels warm. You rediscover yourself and the happiness which you have overlooked for a long time. Then there is a smile on your face. :-)
