Writing after ages....Huhh ..how much have i missed it.Being away from writing was like being away from my biggest stress buster.So while I was away , I tried my hand at analyzing life... trying to understand it..and of course did what everyone does..facebooking.....
The innumerable images on facebook talking about how you should be living your life,how to survive and how to be happy do make you ponder over your strategies of handling your own life.
Evey other image talks of making the right decisions and choosing to be happy which makes me wonder ..Who on earth,if given a choice would choose not to be Happy!!
Well,it happens rarely that one gets an option to make his choices.The choices we make are predominantly controlled by our situations,others' situations and what is right and what is not.The thought of not doing the right thing and having to bear the flak for that controls our decisions most of the times.Then there is the guilt of upsetting our near and dear ones with our decisions that could make us happy and not them .And since we all are so busy trying to be the angel on earth,bringing smiles on others' faces,doing something that they wouldn't like is out of question.So that closes another door for choosing your happiness.
If at all you survive these two cases then you would be having to fight some inner battles,others' inner battles,multiple rounds of convincing people and analyzing all the potential benefits of your decision before you could finally choose to be happy.And in my opinion ,after all these efforts you are so bugged up with it that happiness comes but little.
Choosing to be happy is not overburdening and stressing yourself to reach happiness.Just as those images speak ,I wish the choice was so simple.You could make the choices that made you smile.You could walk the path you found greener and not worry about safety.You could grab a large cheesy pizza with a bottle of beer and not think about putting on weight.You could travel tripsy and not be thinking about geting caught.You could pour your heart out and not be worried about being judged.You could watch a late night movie,sleep late and not worry about office the next day.
Well,how many of us can make these choices without another thought.When such small and simple choices for momentary happiness don't come easily...just imagine how difficult the bigger ones would be!!!
