Confusion: A new frontier

Happiness is a shortlived emotion.It comes and goes away. After a while our minds meddle again with the desires which remain unfulfilled. The question once again is, how to live a moment for the rest of our life? Some say we need sadness to understand the importance of the happiness in our lives. But this logic means again that happiness is momentary.

We always search it in something or somebody. Sometimes we get it but then it goes away. And when it goes away it leaves behind memories.Sadness on the other hand lingers on and on. It does not leave us. Its like life is a war between hapiness and sadness. While happiness has its own moments of triumph, sadness normally reigns for a major part.

Have you ever waited for anything so long that you lose out the strength to wait for it. Did it ever occur that the very reason for your existence is not a reason anymore. And have you ever felt that the reasons don't matter to you now. Failures dont disappoint you and you have already forgotten the success.

Have you felt the numbness in your body, the feeling that may be heart is not missing a beat but not beating altogether and you have to touch yourself to realise that you exist.

Browsed through a few blogs today and realised that our feelings are the same, what's different is the time when we feel them. Some have expressed how i am feeling now, they have been through it and much more. Some have fully receovered, some have not.

For all those who have not recovered i am now wondering if i should wish them happiness. As for me, i guess i am too happy with my sadness(or may be numbness).

Read these lines( a girl called shakhi had blogged it)

Har ghunt me peeya hai zahar tune kya kabhi?
Kabhi socha hai tu zinda kyun hai?
Us khanzar se kabhi pyar kiya hai tune,
Jiski chot se tere sine se khoon rista hai?

Log kahte hai mujhe us se pyar na kar,
Par kya kar samjhau unko ki voh bedard sahi,
Par mera yeh kambakth dil to bewafa nahi hai...

They say "happiness is a choice..", you cannot bring happiness to other people unless you begin it within your inner self.

Yeah, we live in this complex world where it seems like there's more weight of sadness than that of happiness, but then everything is a choice, the question herein is that: which do you prefer to live by?in sadness or in joy.

Only the answer is within our own grasp...in our own free will as a human being.

Nicely written post...but you must live with the hope that after rainfall there is sunshine...and you must open your eyes to know that the sun is up brightly smiling at you. Even if there are some clouds hiding it, just feel it behind those clouds and you will be happy. Yes, sometimes just like this you have to search happiness in small things of life, overlooking the overcast gloom.

And yes, I have also read that poem of shakhi...nice lines...

Cheer up!
