life won't let us be happy!!

Hiya chiyo, Oh yes this has happened to all of us and me many times I was really happy one Morning and I got a letter in the Post that would be enough to ruin some People´s lives but at first it did not really sink in till I read it all over again and then the happiness quickly faded for a few hours. Three years later I can look back on it all and say boo to all of those that tried to cause me so much harm. They will never spoil my happiness not in a lifetime although they would like to see it happen and feel satisfied. Just one of those things so I am not afraid to feel happy anymore even though bad things do turn up a lot. When things happen like that here in this House I try to be positive for them but they have to find there own way out in the end as well. xxx

Hi chiyosan! I've experienced that, too! There's actually a saying, or a belief like that! When you're too happy and everything is going well for you, something bad will happen to break your happy streak. That's why old people say not to make a baby or a kid laugh too much because it will surely be crying after a while. I think it's just a balance of nature happening. You really can't stay happy for long. And you can't appreciate happiness when you don't experience the opposite of it. It's just about how we deal with things.

Yes, I have felt this so many time before. Sometimes I don't let it affect my perfect mood, but often times, it really gets in the way. I sometimes fight the problem and think of happy thoughts instead, it works for a while but when you are all alone in your room you get to think of the problem and that is the time you cry and all the happiness fades.

I think because no one's perfect, so complete happiness will be ours also. Most food need spices to taste delicious then so as life too. We'll be wishing to encounter and feel more happiness over sadness.

That is normal. I admit that I don't like it but problems and sadness are everywhere. Same thing goes to happiness and peace. As long as we are still alive we need to face and solve it. The difference is how we deal with it.(^^)

I remember I used to think we HAD to have negatives..as if it were part of life and we had to experience cylces. At the time I felt I just needed to wait them out and "things will be better in the morning." I learned there are steps we can take to help us through the bad times and especially the negative thoughts. Self talk and having a reasonable, ational philosophy on life makes all the difference in our happiness.

I feel the same way, there this sick balance in life. If you are in a happy mode you should know that at the same time there is someone experiencing pain or lose. For some unknown reason the whole world can't be happy at the same time. Just knowing that at some point in life all humans are going to experience lose.
