Unearthed desires: The whining soul

She has everything one wants! He has a life which I always wanted! Why don’t I enjoy life when I can? Why? Why? Why? These are the unsaid and unheard cries of many. More than being considerate about our lives we try to match up to others and opt to be saddened by its absence. We don’t realize in the midst of finding sheer satisfaction we end up overlooking happiness life hurls at us. Unknowingly we prefer to struggle each day for reasons to be unhappy about. Question today is: What makes us happy?

I see people around me wanting for more, every time and in everything. Be it love, belongings or dreams. There is just no stop to one’s desires. Before we get one thing, curiosity for the other builds up, and so much that excitement of the former dies down. We never realize what we lost, until we see ourselves whining again for a reason to smile. I guess, the definition of happiness has evolved over the years and varies with people and their needs.

Why do we wait for a good news to celebrate and be happy about? Shouldn’t each day without an untoward incident be counted as a good enough reason to be cheerful? Knowing your loved ones are safe wherever they are, is something to be thankful for? Isn’t having someone to share your gossips and blabbering, without being judged, a relief? We just need to realize that happiness is bundled in so many little things that, if chosen, we can be happy… at least most of the time!

Life is too short to crib and too unpredictable to wait for the right moment. We shouldn’t expect results to show as soon as we sow the seeds. Therefore, be patient and enjoy what you have in your plate. It would be soon that you will realize what was missing all this while. It is beautiful.
