The Balancing Side.

Continuing with the train of thoughts from my last post…..

Though we expect and hope for something better almost always, we do have this other side to us. The side which reminds us, that “things aren’t all that bad and we are doing just fine”. I call it the “balancing side”. Whenever things don’t quite swing in your way, you can hear this voice in your head which tells you a whole lot of things ( depending on the situation that is). Sometimes you may hear a “ You did not get great scores, but see you are among the top 6!!”  or a “ Its not that bad a job afterall, there are people who are in a worse off situation.” At other times it could be a “ You are far better off being single anyway!” and so on and so forth.

Life seriously has its own way of getting the message across. The message – “ Happiness is just a state of mind” .You don’t need material things to be happy and satisfied all the time. Makes sense?

Absolutely correct!!! We can be happy if we want to be no matter how the things are going on....but there's one thing called 'Happiness which comes from Inside'. I think it comes only by finding our happiness in others.

Dear writer,
Have you ever thought that sadness has its roots in happiness? ... & "life" never gets any msg across. For otherwise, wouldnt it be one happy song for our species?

@Anonymous - maybe the fault lies with the "species"- not being able to decipher life's message.
