state of being : happy
"j-o-y down in my heart
deep deep down in my heart."
michael v sang this jingle on a dish washing soap advert. and now I’m trying to break down its content. now i fully understand that being joyful is hard. its like gathering all your energy to have that synergy of positivity. being joyful is being positive.
have you ever met a happy person? can you notice all the positive vibrations on that person? ahh the aura just transcends in your system. but being happy is difficult. to have that sense of being joyful and happy is very hard. as what michael v sang… deep deep down in my heart, so it means that by being happy we must first search inside us, dig what is inside us.
sometimes i feel that having a negative vibe is much easy than having that positivity. ahh why are sinly pleasures easy to embrace? why are the good things boring and hard to achieve?
maybe because its easy to be weak than to be strong. or sometimes we are just acting so much of a human. that we just function plainly as human. we at time lose the guts to be creative. we have forgot the basic sense of human freedom, the right birth that we have and that is being more than human.
but don’t get me wrong that we should act as a God. no of course not. what i just realized is this the fact that we could be more of who we are. having that choice to be happy is a like an option to be dead. dead but alive.
but its much better than being alive and dead. so why is being happy and joyful compared to being dead? well mainly because a dead thing is invincible, because it doesn’t have that feeling of something to lose. its like you can do whatever you want to do and be want you want to be and don’t feel any opportunity cost lost from your side. and you feel life that way.
there is no right formula to seek that joy, we all want to be happy, and if this thing happiness available on market i am sure its sold out by now. but it doesn’t work that way. being happy is keeping everything together, pulling all your negative sides and aligning them to your positive strand. but why can’t we be happy despite having so much? well it could be because we tend to backslide with what we should be appreciating, because we always want something more.
we tend to be greedy.
as we always say, we can never win them all. but there is no harm in trying, after all if you want to be happy then you just have to do whatever that makes you happy. even if we cause unhappiness to other people around you.
there is no correct equation for complete happiness that would be equally fair. because this world is made with balance, one man’s treasure is another man’s trash.
