With our world so busy, technology instance, a transit society, education costly, money more harder to earned and to save ,our communities less friendly, the identification of others questionable and false, some individual moral conscious is exchanged for selfish gains, life meaningfulness as we knew it,is lost among what was value as right ,is now consider wrong.
Having to deal with such challenges as these, how can anyone truly be happy?
Before researching the definition of happiness. I believed happy was coming home after school, playing marbles with my brothers and neighbors, walking to the store with only just five cent in my pocket and spending it all on the five cookies, or making my own go- cart out of junk .Afterwards ,the neighbors pushing me down the road really fast. Maybe stopping by the graveyard picking black berries and sharing them with the neighbors. Or Lo behold ,someone from the neighborhood making pie for everyone to eat with the barriers.
Even there was time we disagreed and the issues we settled by fighting fairly and honestly and without guns and knives. The next day, it was as if nothing ever happened between us. Happiness during those moments were living free, respectful, honest, exploring, openness and being morally sound toward each other.Unlike today. However, from my childhood to now I have lived by the manifold of this story.
It matter not what your conditions are in, the blocks placed in your pathway,or the uncomfortable issues sitting before you. Happy is a choice.
That choice should be guided by understanding, value, engagement, createtive , embracing, simplicity ,sharing morality and refusing never to be afraid to seize every opportunity with whatever we have, with whom ever we know and with everything we have ,then is happy capitalized.
