Life is full of happiness and sadness. It's a matter of one's perspective that determine one's happiness. It's also a matter of point of view or the mind that look at the happiness. If you have ever read one of the stories in my blog about a young man who found a horse, you'll probably read something similar in the following posting.
We know that we can't avoid unhappiness from occuring in our lives. But anyway, if we can look at the other side of unhappiness but not the unhappiness itself, we'll feel happier. Like someone who has been scolded. If he keeps on looking at the "scolded image", he will live in unhappiness longer. But if he can treat the "scolds" as a treatment of care from someone or a chance to learn from mistakes, he'll feel happier and perhaps will not repeat the same mistake again.
There are many people who become successful people after they have seen at the brighter sides of a problem. When they become cheerful in this way, they found that on the other side of this problem, there were another happiness and joy awaiting. They could be very poor on one side. If they blame the God for this, they'll never find happiness. But when they see a brighter side of their lives, like they have caring parents, or they are luckier than those unlucky people, they would realize the happiness within. Some people will also wake up from their unhappiness and start working for their happiness. When they have reached it, they would share their happiness.
Anyway, thinking about unhappiness of the past is meaning, cause you can't change it. Thinking of the future without any present action is also a wishful thinking. The most important is to always look at the brighter side of life, and work hard for the happiness of ourselves and others. In this way, we'll become happier in daily life. Remember the quote by Helen Keller.
"When one door of happiness closes, another opens; but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one which has been opened for us."
