Happiness as a concept…
We all can be drawned by sadness. We can all also follow the idea the worse is to come. And indeed, there’s a teaching in feeling fine, when we had not the habit. Indeed a lot of persons encountered many sorrows in their life, that got them blind for going forward a bit.
Unfortunately as you said, someone are deep drawned and could never see a light longer on. Even if we pray for they will.

Nowadays, there are tendancies to argue a test on 1000 persons could represent the world. We are put in cages with numbers and false names, to conduce ideas; a big part of them end to beliefs.
Statistics are followed, without asking if they are really right. How could say how would be my mood tomorrow, as it changes always? Even myself I couldn’t.

But that’s true happiness belongs to anyone of us. It is a gift we all have. We all can use it whenever we want. But what should we be always happy?
Some could say my tears are lost, and will never feed the desert. Right. But compassion can’t but put tears in my eyes sometimes. As long as inequity will reign.
Listening to music also: Is it sadness? A kind of maybe. But it is. Isn’t it a gift also? Why God created me with tears so?

How could I walk faster in my path, faster than my understanding? Do people in Afghanistan or Iran or in all other miserable places now, could attend such conferences?
Truth is that occidentals learn more and more how to be happy, while a big part of the world is living under sorrows, our tears could figure…
Of course their state could help me to be happier. In real, as for today, I’m more serious than happy or sad.

All this doesn’t avoid us to be happy in the bitter seat we could be. Faith could offer it.
And I really love to have fun, as maybe all of us. I don’t cut happy energy to come in me. I just can’t feel it sometimes, when I see how life is going around. Even more, when all of us tend to pretend now that we are all responsible.
No, I’m not responsible for wars and murders. I regret I have to say it. In my heart this is never my wish.
But I’m responsible as well, ok! Since I said it sometimes.

Yet, today, I believe persons on our dear planet have always been finding solutions of sharing, and well-being, while others were destroying them. Telling we are all responsible to care ok. But all responsible for the bad consequences of the destructors, I disagree. Though I can’t be sure to have the truth about that.
I could be a monster in another life, one who wish happiness now. Who knows?

Sometimes we disrespect some we loved, to be happy. Other time we dominate too. The big problem, as for me is that happiness don’t last that way. We have to be in happiness with ourselves. And then, knowing one has to be strong to stay in. As there are always someone that prefer seeing you cry than smile.
Maybe I was blind before, but I can see more and more of them.

Fortunately my heart is melt to believe again and again each time. My heart is melt to forgive. Maybe more others than myself… ;)

Love you all.

Happy monday dear Paulo.

Interesante artículo y un hombre encantador el Dr. Happiness, la experiencia de la vida enseña.
Me encanta leer que la amistad y la familia son los que te dan mas felicicidad, compartir con los demas nuestros momentos libres y reir, reir mucho es lo que más aporta felicidad.
Desde luego que debemos estar deprimidos muchas veces y no ver nuestros horizontes sin darnos cuenta.
El dinero no hace la felicidad, es consenguir cosas poco a poco lo que hace feliz, tenerlo todo es como estar harto, no tienes hambre nunca. Ahora bien el artículo hace referencia al dinero que se tiene parado sin darle utilidad y dice que si lo gastas en un viaje, compartes experiencias es lo que siempre quedará, estoy de acuerdo, entiendo “Siempre quedará París”.
Me ha gustado el punto de vista del Dr. Gilbert.

For those interested in the topic, the entire edition of TED 2004 was dedicated to the pursuit of happiness.

My search for finding and understanding happiness is far from being completed. Strangely, my journey seems to travel trough pain rather than bliss. In the past weeks, I cry out of nowhere, many times a day. And equally often I enjoy sunshine, flowers, a person’s smile, getting a chance to get what I want and work towards it. I am amazed myself how fast my soul recovers after a low. But does that make me happier or in depression and denial? I feel better than ever, I just decided one day to stop being tough and feeling heavy in my heart and just to let pain flow trough me when it comes. I am surprised of how much it is, though, and that it does not seem to stop for a while now. But in this process I found that I can feel joy and even happiness the same way I feel pain. It just comes easier, and out of nowhere. If that’s normal or not, I don’t care anymore.
Best to watch the videos, they can explain their finding of happiness much better than I can.

Hmm..I was listening to Annie Lenox, thinking how we let ourselves to be stuck in a moment, in life that always changes and….changes us; afraid of wrong steps, anticipating things that actually in real life might not be as bad as we think. But yes, we don’t want to be lost or hurt others, when actually, we may be hurting them even if we don’t do anything.
Life is…a puzzle; if we want to put all the pieces together we have to find them all and do not be afraid of seeing the whole picture. Who knows maybe, just maybe, it’ll be a picture of..love.?

“Miracle of love” by Annie Lenox

How many sorrows
Do you try to hide
In a world of illusions
That’s covering your mind?

I’ll show you something good
Oh, I’ll show you something good

When you open your mind
You’ll discover the sign
That there’s something
You’re longing to find..

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again..

Cruel is the night
That covers up your fears
Tender is the one
That wipes away your tears

There must be a bitter breeze
To make you sting so viciously
They say the greatest coward
Can hurt the most ferociously

I’ll show you sth good
Oh, I’ll show you sth good..

The miracle of love
Will take away your pain
When the miracle of love
Comes your way again..

love
Agnieszka
