Circle of happiness and sadness

-by Shuchita Shukla 

How are you feeling today? Delighted, excited, sad, or anxious? Whatever is your frame of mind right now may not be the same tomorrow. As they say, ‘Change is the only constant.’ This phrase applies so well to our daily lives and the feelings we experience. 

Happiness and sadness are two sides of the same coin called life. This trait of duality in our lives is what makes it special. No one’s lived a life that’s devoid of sadness. But that doesn’t mean that happiness vanishes away and never comes back. It is always around the corner. One needs to learn the art of perseverance and patience to ace through the dark clouds and overcome the rain of sadness. How long can the rains and thunderstorms last? The sun of happiness has got to shine some day or the other. That is the day that’ll bear the fruit of your patience. With the rays of sunshine after rain, you’ll see and know the rainbow of bliss that has been waiting for you at the other end. It is a phase that will help you understand why it’s so essential to withstand all the storms life throws at you. There is always a silver lining to every situation if one opens their eye. 

 

Smiling phases of life make your heart full. People tend to become so engrossed in their daily lives that they begin to be ungrateful and consider the actual happy times as mundane and normal. They forget to celebrate life. It is when their happy phase is over that they realise how precious those times were. This is how life teaches us that it cannot always be sunny and the darkness will always come along. 

People in today’s age need to accept that happiness and sadness are part of life. A person who is the happiest today can be the saddest tomorrow or vice-versa. It is a circle of life. If one learns how to deal with and be in both situations, life becomes a beautiful journey.
