“I would always rather be happy than dignified.”
— Charlotte Bronte
Is happiness something only for children?
As people age, it appears that any true happiness leaves them. (Not everyone, but the majority).
Many people get more death-like as they age, and less life-like.
The true joy they had a child leaves them as they learn about the “real world.”
In the real world you discover some people who only find “happiness” at someone else’s pain….thats not happiness or joy; that is sickness.
But if the majority of people are sick, and even world leaders promote this sickness – it’s difficult to find true happiness.
So, it is great to be serious, but we can also be happy too (& not “happy” at someone’s pain).
How can you discover a real happiness again?
That’s a great question, and the answer will be different for most people.
What did you enjoy when you were younger?
Do you have any hobbies that you actually like?
Turn the television off. Ignore cruel politicians & never befriend a person who laughs at someone else’s pain.
You’ll never be happy if you laugh at the pain of someone.
Think about what you enjoy, and take time to do some of that.
