Happy and Sad

Happy Moment:


When you do what you want and you feel that everybody is enjoying what you are doing with you, even thanking you and remembering you for those happy moments. When you see a child smile at you, when you see a beautiful landscape, when you remember a funny joke in the middle of a serious meeting, when you do something meaningful and rip the fruits of your labor, when you laugh your heart out, when you hear and see others just as happy. When you try something new, when you finish a hard task, when you don't have to do something you hate, when you say the truth because it is true and when you are proud of what you have accomplished. Happy moments are rare moments and their reservoir in each of us is, and it is up to each of us alone, to make it replenish or stay empty. Someone used to tell me that "Happiness is an endless pursuit", it is, and here I am going after it ;), will I catch up or will it miss me, I don't think it will wait if I am a bit late, I have to try though, even if deep inside I know i will never catch up. This could be a happy moment, to take off running and searching for happiness...

Sad Moment:

When you don't understand life and what it wants out of you, when you are not understood or misunderstood and when you try to explain your position and don't see the point of talking. When you feel alone amongst strangers, when you feel alone amongst people you know, when you have to explain yourself to a close person or your lover, and look in his eyes and don't see in his eyes what you want to say. When you hear a sad piece of music and remember what injustice others did to you, when you wish you are dead and that there is no hope of trying. When you see an old man begging and no one is trying to help, when you reach out to a friend for an advise or an urgent matter in your life and don't find any friends. When you cry alone because you can't express yourself to your closest and don't find anyone to wipe away your tears, when you stand on top of a mountain and scream at the world to help you, when you can't do what you love and when you don't love what you do, when you look up to a sky without any stars or the moon. When you have a point to prove and you are stopped by others, a sad moment is when you admit you are sad.

Sad moments are a lot, more than anyone could count, i don't know why sad moments are remembered and happy ones are easily forgotten. Is this human nature, or is it just the nature of sad and happy moments?

I have to stop here, and this is a sad moment, but please share your happy and sad moments with me ...
