"Did perpetual happiness in the Garden of Eden maybe get so boring that eating the apple was justified?”

And soon the sun went beyond and all that was left to remind her of that day was the darkness that followed with her longing for the warmth of the sunlight. And the will to light her way out of the black night to see it shine again.

To live in bliss is to live ignorant and stagnated. Perfect  happiness is only glimpsed or felt every once in a while then it vanishes as quickly as it comes but effortlessly. And that is how it is and always will be. We should know better than to challenge it but be aware that our search for happiness is our strongest motivator.

I say happiness is the means but contentment is always the ends. Gibberish? Not if you look at it from my point of view but very few people would agree I even make sense. That perpetual state of happiness is a big glorious lie. We do everything to keep ourselves happy and strive to remain in that state for as long as we think we can but in the end it is all a matter of being satisfied and content. So our pursuit of happiness too was in itself a façade. Happiness is only a wee-bit over-rated. Contentment – that is the real stuff. And only a few open their eyes wide enough to see that it is always within their grasp but only for their pursuit of happiness. And before you get to know contentment, you have to know what you really want.

Step up and accept that the times you remember well and moments which made you a bigger person are the ones when you were at your lowest and how you got out of it.

 (Roy M. Goodman, my thoughts, exactly!)

Pause the parties and the work. Take a break. Take courage and find your forte.

I make little sense most times. I don't mind it. ^_^

A thin line, indeed.

 At some point or another, we all have that moment in our lives, it may come early or you would refuse to acknowledge it with the will that you can. Sometimes, its best to be point blank realistic. But where do we draw that line? Is it blind and stubborn stupidity to go through with what you have started till the end? But how is it wholly a rash and desperate attempt on your part when for the first time in your life, you have a clear idea of what you have to do and your courage to speak up for it? In many cases you are just ungrateful or having a temporary breakdown o_O 
or you just think you're too cool and smart <---heh! I wish.

So what is the right thing to do and what act will be condemned? When you stand alone with one wish, and you're going after something only you want, does that make the pursuit of your own happiness wrong? But how can it be wrong when your happiness and well-being is said to be the determinant for the objections? Rebels can be heroes. Heroes are rebels. Sometimes, it is all a matter of perspective. In the long run, will the right thing always remain justified? Put under different circumstances, what if it turns against itself? Where do they meet - the point of right and wrong? Happiness against well-being? Knowledge against wisdom? The supposed ignorance of youth against the supposed wisdom of the old?

When I am golden and old, I hope I can still stand by the rightness of my decision today and not regret not having gone through with it.
