Life is such an irony. If we think, realise and understand the truth of it, then we would live Life, but would never be able to enjoy it. But if we stay oblivious to that, we would enjoy life without even living it.
We are all born not to just sustain, but to Live, enjoy the materialistic objects that the world has to offer, which is happiness to some. Happiness is a function of various things to different people. But at the end, we start chasing them. But that's a never ending pursue. From where we stand, we see happiness far away and start running towards it. Everytime we get tired, we lament happiness is not attainable to us. We cry that we are destined to remain sad and unsatisfied.
The other group, that rejects the idea of "living", they say they are going to find inner peace and denounce materialistic life. They merely sustain until death spares them. They never have a reason to cry or be angry, since they have closed their eyes to the world around them.
We try so hard to live life to find happiness, and the other group doesn't participate in what is called "Life" .
At the end either happiness is a never ending pursue or an illusion. And that's because we all think happiness as a destination to be reached and that the sole purpose of life is to find happiness.
But just like how we need different tastes in our food, we need to be sad, angry, hurt, let down, lonely, happy, successful, loved, and calm. Its all this that makes Life. Its all the tears we shed that make our smiles more valuable. Happiness is not the potion. It's an ingredient.
We don't have to treat life like it's and any kind of race. By running after something, we will only let life run past us. What we miss is just not happiness, but Life itself.
Let's treasure not, just those happy memories, but also those that made us cry, because then we would know we had lived life. Instead of denouncing everything to find peace, let's embrace them, both good and bad, then there would be no reason to be disturbed.
Let's accept both the night and day and Let us love our lives unconditionally
