Why I am happy?

 20251227

I've learned long ago that happiness should not be the objective of my life.   When you have a higher goal ahead and you are working hard on it, happiness will come as a natural companion for you,  and that is real happiness.

And sometimes very small things can make you happy.   Maybe happiness is not such a serious matter. Lost is an important source of unhappiness.  Doesn't it mean the opposite is true?

Lost is not happy and found is happy.

I lost my ring the day before.   It just slipped away from my fingers.   Maybe the weather is too dry that my skin is slippery for the ring.

I felt unhappy for quite a while.  I searched everywhere but no way can I found it.

And I ask myself, how can you be disturbed by such trivial things?

Then I was released from the trap of unhappiness.

Lost is not happy.

I lost my mother since I was 11.

It turned me from an obedient child into a wild child.

It gave me freedom in my thoughts.

I was not happy but I was free.

It is strange feeling until now.

Happiness and freedom is two different things. And you might not have them both.
