Happiness

Happiness is a funny thing. A single action or event that causes one person happiness for whatever reason can have the opposite effect on another party. Although I can understand why that can be true in certain circumstances, the thing that perplexes me is why people can't simply allow others to enjoy those things that make them happy. Is it really necessary for some people to attempt to share their unhappiness with everyone else? When did happiness become a competition? For some, it seems to be a childish game of... if I can't have it, neither can you.

Fortunately, I do not subscribe to that way of thinking. Whatever makes you happy, go for it. I like seeing others happy. The happier everyone else is, the less likely they are to be worried about me and the less likely they are to be a part of that childish game in competition for happiness.

Recently, I have been able to get back to focussing on many of the little things that make me happy and sharing those little things with someone special. I love the feeling these little pleasures can bring and it feels good share some of this joy with others via this blog, or simply talking with good friends. I'm sorry if for whatever reasons this happiness does not have a positive impact to anyone else. However, please remember... if there doesn't seem to be enough happiness in the world, just make some more. If we all make a little, there can be enough for everyone.
