Looking back at the things that one has achieved and the lapses that has added to the totality of one's life, you can not but acknowledge the true essence of happiness. Growing up in the midst of unhappy people tends to tune the midset of many. Waking up listening to couples fighting, children crying and your stomach making that sound requesting for food makes you wonder the true value life has got to offer (The life of an average african child). Yet you go on with the daily activities smiling and pretending everything is going on well. Now comes the question?
WHY PRETEND TO BE HAPPY WHEN YOU ARE NOT......
This is what leads to the uniqueness and effectiveness of happiness. When a man is happy or pretends to be happy, things can afford to be normal and go smoothly but when a man is unhappy everything around such a person is upside down even when they are standing straight. Happiness reflects the positivity in errors. Happiness brings out the brightness in darkness. Every man strives to be happy but not every one is happy. Your happiness is determined by you. Live your life a happy person and things will work out well.

The trick is to find joy n irrespective of where happiness chooses to go, u can always control how u feel with Joy.
ReplyDeleteNice one.
I think its God's peace that gives us happiness but I also suspect that making an effort to be happy in spite of life's situations is key as you've rightly said, uncle.
ReplyDelete@Mo: Not really sure how joy differs from happiness. Enlighten us please :). Thanks.
Good read, uncle. Looking forward to your next blog.
