Curious and Happy




I don't think I ever felt so random and organized at the very same time! So childish and impetuous yet so mature and responsible! If you asked me if I wish I were a child again, I'd say no, because I am getting the best of both worlds, enjoying the privilege of being an adult and savoring the freedom of a child.

Children's curiosity is one aspect of freedom, something that we learn to set aside as we enter the boundaries of adulthood! It is this curiosity that gives life a different and exotic taste, a taste of happiness!
My theory of paradox is that happy people exist despite the fact they're unhappy most of their time. A happy life is one that is free from hunger, poverty, wars, diseases, hatred and death. This happy life does not exist! Not even in fairy tales, so practically one can never be absolutely happy because there is always something that is lacking, we are always deprived of something.
I do believe there is no happiness on earth, what we actually experience is a bunch of happy moments! And accordingly, and getting back to my theory of paradox, a happy person is one who easily achieves these happy moments!

 I wonder if you're following!

If a happy moment was a tree, curiosity is the water! Curiosity from a child's perspective of course! Are you curious enough to watch a bee collecting a flower's nectar? Or lying on the ground beneath the summer sky gazing at the stars, heedless to the dirt that might cling to your clothes and hair? Enough to observe birds' behavior and try to tell a male bird from a female one? To stand laughing under heavy rain? To take a bus instead of your car? To have a walk in a cold weather when the wind is so strong that it feels as if it's slapping your face? Countless are the examples if I am to reckon! Unspeakable the joy and the amazement!

 I have chosen this style of life, it doesn’t save me from pain or sadness, yet it gives me brief moments of happiness that rejuvenate my heart and spirit!


Beauty is everywhere, embrace it whenever you can

Create a build-up of happy moments

Explore

Stir up your own curiosity

Be happy!
