Happiness vs. saddness
Sadness seems more bountiful than happiness in life sometimes... Maybe it is so to make the happy times all the more joyful...
Then again, sadness and happiness are choices we have to make. They're like candy. We can choose the sour candy or the sweet one but in the end, what's inside the candy is a sweet taste. Just like in our choice to be happy or sad, Jesus will still be with us.
Sometimes happiness seems like an impossible choice to make in the mist of unhappiness happening all around us.
Sometimes we force ourselves to be happy and smile but know that we are still saddened in our hearts.
Jesus said that there's a time for everything. A time to rejoice and a time to mourn. A time to be happy and a time to be sad. So how do we know when is the right time to be happy or sad?
Sometimes I'm grateful for the sad times because they make us enjoy and appreciate the glad times. But sometimes sad moments feel like they could last forever. So the very least we can do is to enjoy and savour every glad moment that we're blessed with. And most importantly, thank God for them.
