Eternal Happiness

The concept of eternal happiness does not apply within our lives. At least not within this world. If one observes properly, they could see a trend in the pattern of the emotions that we come across in our lives. I prefer to call it the "the wave of emotions". 

From the name itself one could derive that the emotions that arise within us are consistent with a wave shape through time. The crest representing the maximum happiness and the troughs representing the maximum sadness. Therefore the expression "ups and downs of life". Obviously, these emotions are based upon the events in the lifetime.

Can anyone think of one person who has lived or is living, that has never had ups and downs in life? I bet you can't. That is because such a person does not exist. Sometimes we draw our own conclusions regarding rich and famous people that they have the perfect life, but do we really know deep inside of them to know their problems and emotions? No, no one does. Such conclusions are rather ignorant often made in temporarily desperate times. The major problem with happiness is that it is unquantifiable and unmeasurable. Just imagine a king who has all the wealth but does not have a faithful wife or children who respects him. Would he have sufficient happiness in his life? I think not. On the other hand a middle classed man who could provide his family just enough but has a wonderful wife and children who respects him is more likely to have sufficient happiness in his life. Hence, wealth is not "The" factor for happiness, but rather "A" factor for happiness. Often times we tend to ignore this concept. Point to be noted here is that both of the people mentioned above will still be subjected to the "wave of emotions". 

Hence, we should all be proud of who we are. We should not tend to look at others and wish that if "I could be him". This is because we never know what are their downs. In other words, ups and downs are experienced by every single person who has lived and is living at the moment. There is a balance in human life guided by the universe which requires each person to go through hard times and consequently find happiness. When a person is subjected to distress in their life, while struggling through the hardship, they should actually be expecting the joy that will subsequently follow. I believe that the people who commit suicide are unaware of this phenomenon. Point to be noted is that its just a matter of time until the change takes place. That requires patience which the miserable suiciders unfortunately do not possess. I believe that the proper awareness and the knowledge will actually boost up the distressed ones and give them the driving force through the hard times.

In conclusion, eternal happiness is a concept which only exist within the fairy tales. It is a nice ideology but unfortunately it does not exist in our lives. Reality check. On the other hand, the "wave of emotions" is subjected to every single person on this earth. Maybe that is the way the universe ensures that there is no bias within any of its individuals. I believe that the happiness and lives of all of us are equal in their own ways. Therefore, live without regrets and and to the fullest knowing that everyone is technically living the same type of lives with their own ups and downs. Remember! There are so many ways you can get a 100. The way to reach the answer may be different but the result is eventually the same.

1+99 = 100, 2+98 = 100, 3+97 = 100 ... etc...

2*50 = 100, 5*20 = 100, 4*25 = 100 ... etc...

200/2 = 100, 300/3 = 100, 400/4 = 100 ... etc...

101-1= 100, 102-2 = 100, 103-3=100 ... etc...
