HAPPINESS... we sometimes wonder what does this word really mean. Is it synonym to contentment, like loving the life that you have right now? Or it's just an illusion and beyond our comprehension and reach? There are times when we even question it's existence. Though sometimes, we experience this short-lived so called happiness. But in the end, we wonder if it's really real, and not just a mere satisfaction brought by the situation. We often asked ourselves 'Can we truly be happy?'. We tend to answer 'yes'. But if we are asked how, we really don't know.
I got this text message from a friend... 'It's really hard to show everybody how you feel, scared of letting them know what's bothering you... sometimes lying would be an excellent remedy to overshadow the tears from your eyes. You hide the pain by smiling, you hide the tears by laughing and you hide the sadness by lying. And sometimes, you just want to trade your life just to experience a minute of happiness that will really change everything.'
Maybe, this is the fact in this materialistic world... the more we chase for happiness, the more it eludes us... the more we look for it, the more we lose it. Every time we try to be happy, we fall prey to being hurt instead. But sometimes too, we need to be hurt first to realize things that really matter to us. Life is indeed full of ironies, not only in seeking for happiness. In living this life, we have to lose things, to gain things. Like in love, we need to lose ourselves to be able to love the other person wholly, and that way we can truly be happy.
And, it's true too... that only HIM can give us real happiness... the one that we are constantly looking for... the one that last forever.
