A moment of Happiness





It is what I would define as something that pulls us out of our state of normal idiosyncrasy and puts us in a state of belief where we believe that Life is so good, or I am so lucky, or I am the best on this planet Earth, or I am the chosen one of God. That is the only moment when we do not tend to think that “Why me?” and then, suddenly we think otherwise because that moment was just a moment and now it’s gone. This thought is what this whole topic is all about.

Why a moment of happiness doesn’t last long? Why it is that good things have a short life? Is this because life is basically bitter or is it just that we don’t realize good things as good until they are gone? or they are just to end and then crib and cry over it. It may be anything but the general and public opinion stand still that “Happiness is just for a moment”; though its memories last but the real moment is gone even before we know it came.

Did you ever think about what are good things in life? Good things, I would state them to be something which is healthy for us; healthy in the physical, emotional, psychological sense. Can you think of anything which is sweet and which is good? Can any such thing really exist? As a matter of fact, nothing really sweet exists which is good for us in any way. For instance, Bitter gourd, a very nutritious thing for health, is named over something we all try to stay away from, “Bitter”. Another thing that I can simply talk about is Turmeric, when taken with a medicinal value is also bitter. So does that mean that all good things are bitter? Has nature made them so?


Now what do we do, stay healthy or stay sweet. Is there nothing we can do to get both? Is this simply a choice for us to choose either from pain (referred to as bitter here) or a happiness (referred to as sweet). So in general life, what we tend to choose is a very personal opinion though most take up the sweet thing as soon as we see it. May be, the next time I see it, I am gonna stay away. Or I am gonna shout, Leave me the way I am. I do not seek your mercy. I seek no one’s mercy. People say, “If everything is going right, then you are on the wrong path” but I wanna ask, Why? Why can’t an easier path be the right path? Why is it that only the tough paths are supposed to be the right ones?

For all the problems that we face, Society tells us, whatever happens, happens for good. That I believe is just a consolation prize that we get for we could not get what we wanted; something just to play with so that either we can blame some part of it on God or to wait for something good to happen to us. But should we really wait for something good to happen or should we create our own path..


Whatever it is, Life is not going the way you are going. Take your own path and let the life follow you.



PS: When I come to think of this blog, there are more questions than answers, but that’s what life has offered us. More questions for the last question that we have found the answer to.

Life is one of the most difficult puzzles to solve. No wonder, we have yet not been able to create it arificially.
