Be happy if you are Sad:)
Life takes turns upside down. You may be very happy on the top of your world now and the next moment, the whole world can turn upside down. People love and prefer happiness but my rendezvous with life have taught me to prefer being not happy. As said the only fact of life is "This soon shall pass"..so the best bet is being in a state of negation/problems/bad phase. Because bad phase is bound to go, but if you are in a good phase, then the next awaiting phase is bad one. Therefore if your time is not good, you are in trouble, distress, despair..celebrate it because your good time is just next door
Just recalling few incidences which have just changed the thought which led me envy a few so-called "happy" people.
Incident 1: Had a friend's cousin known to me. This lady Meera (the cousin), we (me and my friend) thought, was the most lucky lady of the whole world. Being the only daughter of her parents, she was brought with utmost love and affection. She was from a well to do maternal family and was married to in a high class matrimonial family. Combination of beauty with brains, she was blessed with a love n bliss in her married life too. Both she and her husband are CAs and are referred as the most romantic couple of their entire friend circle. Meera is blessed with two cute kids, 6 year old baby boy and 2 year old baby girl. She is the darling of the entire maternal and matrimonial family. We thought that hers is the most perfect life that God could have made. But just a year after her second child was born, she was diagnosed with brain tumor. The most deadly disease that could happen; she is under constant medication from past one year and doctors not sure of her life beyond a couple of months or max 3-4 years. Life when once was the most blissful has also shown her the worst that could happen to somebody.
Incident 2: A cousin of mine who is an IPS officer in UP, has a very beautiful wife and blessed with 2 kids. Having everything in life, power, money, reputation, love and good looks we thought that his is the most successful life one could get. His wife, Sheena would never leave any chance of being a proud wife of her husband. Being able to afford the most luxurious life anyone could get, she would not even wash her face without filter water and this is no exaggeration!! At times, the wife really boasted a lot. but alas few years back, she somehow developed mental illness, some psychiatric problem. Doctor advised her constant medication but she would not take it (PS. no mental patient agrees that he/she is mentally unstable). The husband also could not take care of her with strictness reason beings one he loved her a lot and had never scolded her in their entire life, two he was too much under work pressure to realize that the situation was worsening. Situation deteriorated day by day and the wife's whimsical and misbehaviour crossed limits.Things went wrong to such an extent that she slapped the IG's wife in one of a common party and then the husband realized that things are beyond reparable. The wife is now admitted to a mental asylum where she is given shock therapy and she is sometimes sleeping on floors or eating grass in hospitals lawns. She has lost her complete self now and hers is mere animal existence now. Alas, the lady once whom people looked at Awe has now become an object of pity.....
So, readers, lets celebrate sadness and state of unhappiness ....Life of despair and disappointment is cushioning us from a lot of unfortunate incidents behind the stage:)
