“And though in your winter you deny your spring. Yet spring reposing within you, smiles in her drowsiness and is not offended.”
-Kahlil Gibran
Often I have been through a phase wherein sadness fills my very soul with its singsong; Seeming never to stop, yet engulfing itself, on its own.
That’s when I wonder, what it is in us that loves the sadness and solitude?
There are times I simply make up my mind to go on an emotional rollercoaster ride. For that matter, most of us have been through that phase in our daily lives when we involuntarily start feeling low with no apparent reason to state. That is when we feel like doing nothing and we seek refuge in solitude.
In such times, I personally have noticed that the happiness within us is just a smile away, yet it becomes such a pain to smile then. It all seems as if we have given up on our share of happiness for this lifetime!
But then, it’s just a mater of a few seconds before we are out of the shell. It’s as if happiness was building up within us in that defined period and finally our sadness has given way to the happiness within.
As far as I understand myself, I can see that it is very intrinsic of us as humans to be happy. But, then somewhere down the line as we grow up we give up on the happiness, little by little. Our happiness becomes indirectly proportional to the amount of success that we achieve in life!
I find this very strange, though. I believe, there’s more we could do for ourselves to brighten up our little own worlds.
Someone got it right when she said,
“A Smile is the shortest distance between two human beings.”
I’d rather put it as,
"Smile is the shortest distance between you and your happiness!”
Keep smiling, all you out there.
That does a lot better to this sick world than the false face that we put on for others!
