" Why should i be happy? "

Do you ask yourself this during moments of frustration and sadness ? I know its really challenging to force yourself to answer this question when you are anxious / angry / stressed out. I admit , its hard for me too.

Then tranquillity sets in and I think about it. I should be happy because im living in  safe country. Though I am not really financially well-to-do , but I dont suffer from rampant proverty. My needs , and even my wants are met. Though the weather is sweltering HOT, im thankful that climate disaster such as droughts doesn't occur. Though we do not have zero crime rate, I still feel secure and safe stepping out to the streets. I dont have to live in fear for tomorrow.  (But cases on outrage of modesty have keened and I guess we must be more careful hahaha) Though I may not live in a mansion or bungalow or terrace house, im glad that I dont have incessant worries for a roof over my head. Though I may still be feeling the hunger pangs in the middle of the night, I feel glad that im not suffering, growing emaciated and gaunt because of shortage of food. Though I may not be in some prestigious schools , im glad I have an opportunity to be educated, which others are yearning for. Honestly, no resentments for my living condition. Lastly , I have great parents / good friends , and they never fail to make me laugh every day. So there is a reason to be happy afterall.

Sometimes things may seemed bleak and we often question our own abilities. We are doubtful of ourselves when we cant handle things the way we want to . We feel the immense resentment towards unhappy problems and we ask "why dont things improve?  " . Often, I tried to tell myself what im feeling right now is not and would never be the worst because there are always people who are less fortunate than me . I am worrying about grades while they are worrying about their lives,  and their hopes for better tomorrow are probably dreams that could never come true . I live beyond that and thinking that they cant even have the opportunity to feel how I felt , im truly contented .  So perhaps , you might want to change change the question to , " why should I be Contented? "  . Then you will probably feel better. And you could go ahead to find other reasons why you should be happy , on top of feeling contented.

Its really annoying for me to type this paragraph after one whole chunk which is talking about reasons to be happy.

So I was wondering, if everyone was to feel contented with their current situation , who will be propelled to improve their living condition and lives ? If everyone was satisfied , where comes the driving force to push us to achieve greater dreams and to escalate our country's level of development to greater heights?

But yeah, I know its impossible for everyone to feel pleased , satisfied and grateful for everything they have. Humans are greedy and we cant deny the inexorable trend that people are willing to do anything for money.

However , we wont be happy forever and there are certainly times when we will feel sad , but the most impt thing is to remember to snap out of sadness . :)

Shall end this post here !
