Happiness

When I travelled to my university the other day, I overheard two people having a conversation about happiness. They were, in my opinion, quite pessimistic since they believed true happiness doesn't exist. At one moment they tried to involve me in their discussion, asking me the reason - I cite - 'why bad things always happen to me?'. I told them I wasn't aware of their situation so that I was not able to judge on that, and immediately one of them told me about his 'problems'. In my opinion, those problems were just minor troubles that people can have with regard to girlfriends, colleagues and such, but he seemed to find his life miserable to the max and the only thing he did was complaining. I had to leave the train so me being involved in this conversation did have an abrupt ending, but when I walked away I thought about the things he had said and I concluded that I didn't agree with any of his pessimistic statements. In my opinion, a bad life doesn't 'happen to you', life is just what you make of it. Of course unpleasant things can cross your path and it's possible to feel like you'll never ever get out of your troubles again, but believe me: there's always a light in the end of the tunnel. In my opinion, it's not the problem itself that's the distortion of happiness, it's your attitude about the problem. That is, how you deal with unpleasant events determines the course of your life. Don't complain about terrible things that happen to you, just go on and acknowledge the fact that you came out stronger. Don't let anything knock you down for a long time, and try to see a positive thing in every single situation. And last but not least, be grateful that you're healthy. Be grateful that you've got amazing friends and/or family members. Be grateful that you're in the position to live. Be grateful that you're in the position to love. Live life the fullest. Believe me, life is to short to complain. Do the things you love, the things that make you happy.
