Happiness is inside you! Now if you are not inherently happy, you can go to the north pole, you can OD on all the drugs man have invented, you can have a million relationships with all sorts of men, you can join all religious cults and yet you will never be happy. In 1996 David Lykken and Auke Tellegen of the University of Minnesota conducted a series of experiments on 732 identical twins and found out that their "adult happiness" is closely matched whether they grew up together or apart. Our mood and temperament are determined by our genes. That is why they call it clinical depression, it's the chemical in you that makes you want to jump off a building. It's not because you were unlucky in life, it's not because your boyfriend cheated on you, it's not because you are not beautiful or cool enough. You were born to shoot yourself with a gun. If these were true, isn't it sad that your entire life has been determined the moment your mom and dad had sex? The sperm travels in libertine speed to beat out the million others, sneaks in into the egg and bam, the circumstances of your entire life are determined.
I think, when you know who you really are and you discover what you are in this world, chances are you are happy. I'm silly, immature, perfectly flawed, lazy, a dreamer, a fool, scatterbrain, blabbermouth but I see beauty in the banal. I know how beautiful and amazing life is and I am not scared to embrace it. I love being me. I like that finally I see a glimpse of what I'm really supposed to be in life. It's a work in progress and I am in no rush.
Happiness is the ability to revel at the absurd, to just let go, to laugh like kids, to love! A very wise guy once told me that "you can love again, and again and again".... Perhaps he has found the secret of life and the key to happiness. It's the capacity to love no matter what. Fall in love with an imbecile, fall in love with the mute, fall in love with a terrorist, fall in love with those who does not love you back, fall in love with another guy or another girl, fall in love with a book, fall in love with the tennis player on tv, fall in love with a band, fall in love with the fat, fall in love with insecure guy, just fall in love.
A moment of happiness.
