Happiness
A chapter in the book Wisdom
Wisdom 13
by Iza Deleanu
What's the secret of happiness? Does anyone know how long it lasts? I surely don't!
No matter how hard I try to keep my eyes shut, the moment I open them and I blink, it's gone! All I know is that I can induce happiness every time I feel close to the brink of losing my sanity.
What's happiness for me?
The joy to watch a drop of dew that gently sparkles on a rose.
Happiness is that carefree emotion, when I walk on a shore. Happiness is the fresh smell of green after the rain.
Happiness is me escaping to a different country and enjoying the culture.
Happiness is getting back to my roots, seeing my family and visiting the graves of my loved one.
All of these moments sometimes come for free, other times you have to work hard to get it.
We were born happy, but then we started to want things and we lost our true selves and replaced with sensations that are cheap imitation of the real thing.
Now I am old and I'm getting closer to that innocence from the beginning and with it, I finally remember: Happiness is God. When we leave our material wishes aside freed from that burden, happiness embraces us freely.
If you want to be happy, look into your heart. Search for that glimpse of the fire that God left inside your soul, enjoy the silence and let the happiness wash you like the purest ocean.
Until you find the balance, try to be happy with what you have. Or as they say, keep calm and be happy!
