Happiness… Sadness…

HAPPINESS…..SADNESS….. two powerful strong words  that affect your life and mine.  One gives a sense of glory and the other one induces grief or sorrow. When we came unto this world, the destiny or fate  has been written in our hands as we  undergo  i.e. glory or happiness and sorrow or despair.

HAPPINESS…. in its simpliest definition,  is a pleasurable experience that emanates from the possession of goodness or the positivity of desires, enjoyment, blessedness and  bliss. It is the natural grace embodied within ourselves through good thinking and behaviour  that carved us from  the very beginning of time through the teachings of  good christians, our parents, families as well as the good, honest, intelligent, educated people sorrounding us in our community. It is blessed to be happy when there is a strong bond of love, of  friendship, of  trust and honesty amongst us within our families towards our society belongingness. The success and key to happiness is: “Be Honest and True to Yourself.”   Happiness brings us joy and contentment, good fortune, luck, prosperity and grace. Love is the truest element of happiness ever. You can somehow judge through the LOOKS of a person if he/she’s happy or not. If there’s twinkle in their eyes and sweet smiles on the face of a person, that person is happy and contrastingly,  if there’s absence of sparkle on their eyes and smiles on the face, perhaps that person may not be happy at all. The eyes is the mirror of our inner selves and if you look deeply into it you can always somehow detect the true feelings of a person. It’s hard to hide the feelings, although it can always be detected through the entire appearance with the expression of one’s face..

SADNESS… that sorrowfulness or being depressed in spirit, having that external appearance  of grief or despair. It  brings  people  into a deep  sorrow that sometimes starts  that sense of uncertainty in life. It’s really heartbreaking. When you loose a precious gem, a possession  dearly  loved  (father, mother or anyone in the family) you then feel that anguish and and sense of sorrow. Sadness brings us mournfulness and melancholy in life. Most of us has encountered sadness in our lives especially when we have lost someone. In sensing our mortality we deeply mourn. This is an inevitable part of our lives at times we can’t get away of..  Humilation –being humiliated   in the presence of others, you may feel that heavy weight on your head  that  pins you down, thus it can give  pain to your whole being ( whole body) making it harder for you to get up. As you norture the pain, the agony and bitterness,  great sadness in  your heart surfaces in mind  and soul , as you loose the appetite to live and be with friends  possibly  thinking of  ending your  life. “It is really sad!” Humilation  is a catalyst that  triggers  depression in mind and soul. So, be careful with your actions and deeds before you affect and ruin the life of other people. Maybe in your mind, it may be right for you to do so, but how about the person you could possibly hurt? have you inflicted a wound  that’s hard to heal? a wound that will always be in the other person’s heart, one that remains there forever no matter what you do to rectify the actions of what you did?  Even though you ask for  forgiveness  and having been forgiven, somehow the thing is; “to forget is hard!”,  it’s always there to haunt you every now and then whenever you see the person/s  or whenever you think of it.  Only time will tell when the person you have hurt will be in their right senses to once again mingle and be with other people again.

We are in this world as good people, people of good conscience and behaviour, let’s not undermine or belittle other people, let’s think before executing an action so as  to avoid friction. Let’s treat one another with respect for we are all the same people of GOD  wanting to live and enjoy the goodness of life.  Let’s focus  not only in one direction, but in different perspectives  to be happy and content. You as a master governs thyself  in right or wrong but no one is responsible for your life, but YOU. So, love your life as you DO love other lives. HAVE A GREAT AND WONDERFUL DAY. GOD BLESS US ALL.
