Life is really really simple. If you are able to understand certain things, life is a celebration and a cake walk. You’ll be able to dance your way to death. But most of us are dragging ourselves to our death. Life has no joy, purpose. When we are happy, we cling to it. We want it to stay and never leave.
Just imagine if you were happy all the time. Nothing bad ever happens. Everything goes as per your plan. How long would it take for you to get bored? It will drive you crazy. Its like saying that its day all the time. There is no night. Its always daytime. The sun is always out.
When sadness inevitably comes as it always has, we get afraid. We want to push it away or we try to run away from it. Because it makes us feel so uncomfortable, we try to avoid it. We push it down.
