All Things ~ Just for Fun JUNE

Continuing with Kim’s challenge for June, write about Happiness. What makes you happy? If I had to choose few or many things that would make me happy, I would say many things. But if anyone asks, many things or all things, then I will definitely answer, all things!

Many people do not believe in my answer, many people who consider me a liar, hypocrite, and other terms. But that’s my choice, and that’s how I feel. All things; to loved or being hate, who has made me fall or raise me up, gain or loss, sick or healthy, abandoned or accompanied, berated or praised, whatever, everything, because I am happy to discover the essence of all of that for me.

As what happened yesterday, when in the middle of a short break that I could get last night over all the fatigue during the day, Susie who was having a cold continued to accompany me, even after she got angry because I had to force her to swallow a few drops of her medicine. Sometimes she wakes me for she goes up to my chest. I am grateful and happy with the pleasure of exhaustion, love, and a sense of need that is very valuable. As well as when exactly at twelve o’clock this night, my wife and daughters hugged and kissed me to say, “Happy birthday, beloved father.”

Ahhh… Thank you very much, Divine. I love you.

  2. Everyone is entitled to their own point of view. The most important factor in life is for the individual to know their own identity thereafter epiphanies pop up like mushrooms. Happiness is yours if you embrace it!

    • Thank you for your point of view, Bradley. Unique and different is our own genuine, our own color to create a wonderful world. Also, our right to be happy or suffer upon all events that come to us or we come over. So it is my right to embrace everything as happiness, right? …and to show or drawing of what I see to people whether they are willing to accept it or not, right?

  3. Happy belated Birthday Albert. Susie seems very happy and comfortable now. Hope she is over her cold. Yes I strongly believe that pain can bring along happiness. As an ex-registered nurse, I have seem my share of pain in every form and fashion. When a patient gets better, his family rejoices and loves him or her even more than before. But personally for me, seeing that much pain has hardened me so much that even when I hurt and ache with my growing years, I developed a bad tendency of not complaining at all and keeping everything inside. But that is just little old me.

  5. Takes too much wisdom to see the happiness in pain… or maybe there isn’t… it’s the learning process… although they always say to try find positive in everything … its never easy…

  6. Your second question was interesting Albert, Pain can bring happiness in many forms, when it is gone, or if it helps us grow stronger. Interesting question!

  7. Hope you had a great birthday dear friend. God bless you for many more. The vote states that 1005 BELIEVE THAT PAIN IS NOT HAPPINESS. I AGREE!

  8. I find it possible to be thankful IN all things, but not necessarily for them. There is a difference. I can be thankful for the sovereignty and justice of God when I read that a gang has raped and tortured a young woman, but I’m not thankful that it happened. I am thankful that God will see that justice is done in the end for both perpetrators and victim.

    I don’t believe that pain is happiness, but I believe it often is good for our growth as human beings.

    • You explain well what you mean and I agree in the contexts you convey.
      Indeed, pain is part of happiness if we learn and grow as human beings. I personally enjoy the learning process as the happiness because I believe that happiness is the path and not the goal.
