the right to mope
watched the pursuit of happyness recently...been a fan of will smith since fresh prince of bel-air ;]'and i thought about how he knew to put the 'pursuit' in there, like no one can actually have happiness. we can only pursue it.'
everyone has the right to be happy it seems. true. you are in control of your life so you can choose to be happy or not. but of coz due to the circumstances of society we pursue the things that make us happy instead. in order to be truly happy we try to reach the standards set for us, the expectations we think would make us happy and life gets much more complicated. hmmm...for me my bouts of happyness surfaces when
☆ i can have a whole tub of haigen daz cookies n chocolate to myself
☆ lounging on the beach with a good book
☆ having a helium filled balloon
☆ there's decent sashimi like toro & uni
☆ cam-whore a pretty photo of meself
☆ buying myself something completely useless
☆ i tell a lame joke which served its entertainment purpose
happyness is a fleeting moment like when you strike 4D or own a maserati. it's the pursuit of immaterial things that makes life more worth while. i know i sound kinda selfish as well since my happyness comes from receiving instead of giving. on a grander scale, you prob need to figure out the self first before reaching out to others. but after that can we actually have happyness? meanwhile i choose my right to mope right now. i have my reasons what's yours?
