Define Happiness...?

Thoughts just crushing the waves of my mind as if they were attacking my brain, and they do not want to win, but just make a lot of mess. I have no idea where to start, but what really pops into my head right now is a thought about happiness. The idea is that how can we know what really makes us happy, and how can we work on it in order to make real. When I think of happiness I see it in two different ways; one when you feel happy because you know you are achieving something good in this world, something that will reflect on people and on you especially. The other way is when you feel surrounded by the people you love, and see them caring about you and share all the precious moments that one can dream of. It is that heavenly feelings that tells you everything is going to be okay.
For me, happiness has been in important issue. I always think of it as some kind of dilemma. Do we need to be happy all the time? Just imagine with me a daily life of laughter and smiles, nothing else, no sadness ever, do you really want that?
I just think that this human quest for happiness is nothing but chasing a dream which is better to be a dream than to be real. In other words, we have our imagination which always fantasizes a lot of dreams, but there are some dream, once achieved, do not feel as precious as they where in the dreamland.
But still, I do not doubt the importance of happiness. It is the most wonderful feeling, because it is rare. And the who deserves this feeling, should be the people who are working hard to live a life, not any simple life, but to appreciate what God has given us, and to work into making things better, for himself and for other people.
Now I want to concentrate on my main point, which I still find to clear answer. If a person should have to work all the time, is he able to find time to feel happy? Considering his work has to detach him away from the people he love, but he also love the work he is doing! It is complicated.
I have another example, a family who are sinking in problems, from everywhere, financial, social, and any other. Can this family be happy? Or, do they have the time to think about happiness? Which is really important, thinking about a solution for the problems they are in, or to think of things which can make them happy, even for a while?
I know that solving their problems might make them happy. But what if these problems are long-termed, like it needs forever to be solved. Do they need to wait this long in order to taste the sweet essence of happiness? To me this is just not fair.

Caramelized Onions

My mom is used to watch those food channels, and whenever I am free I sit and watch with her, not that I like cooking, but it is only out of curiosity. That day I so that woman cooking a dish, and she said something about caramelized onions, and I started to think, it is such a strange term, but as the way the cook described it, it sounded so delicious. So I thought, onions are known for there bad smell, it cannot b someone's favorite vegetable for example, but still, it can make a perfect combination with a very opposite ingredient, sugar, contrasting with each other to create such a delicious flavor. Then I realized that there are many such contradiction in this world, contradiction that can create such a perfect unit. Although, the repeated stereotype known is that two alike are most likely can create a perfect unit, or a perfect couple, etc. But I guess it is totally the opposite, and life can show us many examples of this. Magnet for example, needs two opposite poles to be mag...

Another Reason Why I Hate Reality

I was completely shocked today when we were discussing some social matter that is related to our society. In fact, it made me really sad and my heart ached, I don't believe how low people can get! Some of you might heard of this and other might not, I didn't! They say that there are some girls who go to wedding or FUNERALS in order to show themselves as future brides for whoever is their who are looking for a girl to marry or whatever. What shocks me that places like weddings, funerals, or any social gathering ended up like this. I am really shameful by my own gender, there is no reason in the world that would let a descent girl sells herself like this, as a cheap object on a shelf in the corner. And worst of all, the fact that they are actually pretending to be someone they are not only to show others that they can be good wives while they are not. This is so sick, to use religion and social manners as a way to get what we need, I don't know how does this people think or h...

A Fresh Start

We all know that life has many obstacles, and because we are humans, we tend to face these obstacles all the time. Not just that, we also tend to face a lot of problems, the hard to be solved kind, only because at some moment we have made some stupid decision. Although, a stupid decision does not necessirly mean that we are stupid. The human mind meets a lot of destractions that might be from the person himself or from things around him. The heroic deed here is to get through them without making a big mess. A new beginning, these words gives the implication that there will be a fresh start once the problems are over. But, this freshness cannot be felt unless this person have a good plan for what his new beginning will be. The first thing is to set the goals, the second is to to have the deteriment to acheive these goals. However, before that, there is something really important, the step number zero. This step asks us to learn from the past, and then, dumb it in the nearest trash can a...
