Yes, I often wonder too Jen. I think the reason why we don't always feel happy because we see a lot sadness and injustice in this world. It is very hard to stay in joyful state of mind when we see some innocent people live in a harsh condition like living on the street especially in the cold weather like the one we have in Canada. I believe our depression tells us something is really going within us that is worth listening to. It is like a gift to our soul, I think.
Life is difficult and beautiful all at the same time. Underneath it all I believe that most of us are happy and just need little push to show it. So its easy for us to laugh when we see something funny. I think its natural to be sad sometimes or even little depressed. Emotions are what make us human and in order to feel happiness we must be able to feel sadness too.
Happiness and sadness art both a part of life. We must strive to push away unhappy thoughts and work on finding things that give us happy thoughts. I agree with Rita and Owen, unhappiness is a part of life. It's like a background that makes happiness seem to shine brighter. If unhappiness comes we must try hard to drive it away and then fill our thoughts with good things that make us happy. Barbara
You are right, with pure happiness there would be no sadness or depression, both of which can spread like a wildfire if not properly addressed. unfortunately we live in real life where pure happinness is impossible. But that is the thing that has led us to where we are as humans. The very fact that we do struggle with sad things from time to time, leads us to think of new methods or develop new friendships to overcome adversity and therefore prosper on the other side even stronger and more resilient as a collective people. If we were always happy, i'm not sure the human race would have survived as long as it has.
Hi Jen. I believe that everything happens for a reason. As human,we have some expectations. If it’s happen as plan it makes us happy but if not we will be somewhat unhappy. Life is full of surprises and we have to be able to adjust or adapt into our daily life! As they say to live like bamboo; when there’s big wind it just sways same direction and when the wind stops , bamboo stands upright again. We are very smart animals so we can go through difficulties but depends on abilitiy to adjust and adapt which you are doing very well Jen. Keep writing ✍️
