What is Happiness ?

     Dear diary,

      Today was a great day as always... I get up from my bed at 06:00am in the morning and prepare myself to went to SMP 37 ( a public school in Medan city - Indonesia ) in other to run the mission of INLA goes to school. This morning SMP 37 performance looked so spiritful and full with happiness, even when at the end of the session the electricity come to blackout which was forced me as the instructor to rise up my voice in other to get listened by the students which were counted about hundreds of them.

      Today I bring one topic about happiness. We dont call a moment as a happiness moment when we get happy while others gets hurt, as the example, when we saw our friends sliped away then fall down to the grown we usually will automatically laugh to them, this laugh we can not call it as a real happiness because our friends got hurt at that time... The real happiness will comes once we can share that happiness to all the people around us and the most important thing is no one gets hurt because of it, as the example, when we got some delicious food we can share that food to our friends and we can eat that food together with them. We sure will share the happiness feeling with our friends at that moment. One thing that we must noted is, we will not get any happiness if we eat that delicious food alone. All the thing that we only get is just the satisfaction of the food then we get our stomatch full that's it.

      Happiness also not always about the material that we have as a human in this world. Many people nowadays always thought that once they got rich they can be happy all the time, actually this kind of point of view is not totally wrong, but we can saw many example due to this issue, alot of beautiful, handsome, rich and they have so many fans just like... artist from Korea. many of them commited suicide because of they can't find the true meaning of their life and they can't find the true happiness in their life. All the thing inside their life is just all about material thing, their soul is empty, once the problem come, the problem which can make them lose all the material thing that they have earned? They started to lose the way of their life, then commited suicide. Actually in other to get happy we don't always need all the material thing in this world, we just need to complete our need than just live the life happily, we don't need too much of material thing! As the example, when we buy 10 sport cars with different merk and model, my question is, when we want to hangout, can we drive all that 10 sport cars in the same time by using our own body? no right? We just need one car with one seat in other to hangout by using a car.

      To understand this kind of matter event more better, I shared a story which is related to this topic... I shared a story which tittled "one cup of warm chocolate". This is a story about one professor who want to make his student realize the thing that makes them not happy in their life. This professor made one big pot of warm chocolate and bring that big pot to his student with various cups in different price, texture, and shape. he asked his student to pick up a cup for themself in other to drink the warm chocolate. Suddenly all the student are scrambling to get the most beautiful and the most expensive cup wich lay upon their eyes. they start to get the cup as fast as they can and be ready to get the warm chocolate from the professor, once they got all the cups, the professor pour the warm chocolate one by one to all of them and he noticed on the table there are just cheap and common cap left. after he asked them to drink the warm chocolate, he than explained what was happened... He said, " look, all of you are always scrambling for the best, the most beautiful, the most expensive thing in your life, while you left the common thing behind. This is the source and the reason why all of you can't happy in this world. The taste of warm chocolate will not be different even you are using the most expensive cap to drink it, it also goes the same with our life, our life is just like the warm chocolate, the meaning of our life will also be the same can't be different even we have a lot of money, rich, famous, handsome, beauty etc. Basically we are as a human is full with happiness, you can see it on the baby's face which is so pure and happy, no burden at all. The only thing that makes us suffer as we growing up is the willing to get all the thing perfect and beautiful!" 

      It's a normal thing for a human to love the thing that beautiful, but we don't always have to get all the beautiful thing and all the perfect thing in our life, remember life is never flat, there is a time for us to get the beautiful thing, there is also a time for us to get tbe common thing, even we also have the time to get the worse thing. We don't need to complain, stress and depressed because all of that! Why we need to be streess for all the thing which is normal happened in human's life? Why we don't just feel grateful and just let it go then live our life happily? All of those option is in our mind, we are the one who have the rights to choose whether we want to live our life happily or in a sadness. If we want to live our life happily just try to think simple and let all the good and bad matter which came to our life flow by themself without need to be stress on it. Remember to feel grateful, because grateful is the main source of happiness.

      Just before I post this posting to this blog, I just have told my self like this... "When I got hungry? I got food to eat, When I got thirsty? I got water to drink, what is the other thing that I can call it as happiness beside all of those thing? Thanks god for your kindness." Not long after I finish that statement, one Black Berry Massage come from 2 people who are important in my life and invited me to come to one place nearby. Then I got this....

One simple birthday cake and 2 special present from the special friend.

     What is the special thing which I can get in this special day is not important, the thing that very important is, I feel happy as I feel grateful with my simple life, the condition, the job, the assignment and all the special people who always fulfil my day with happiness. As I finish this last sentence, my mom bbm me to said happy birthday to me... I think the special thing are not just stop just until here. By the way, Thankyou very much to all of you. I hope we can learn something from this posting and be happy together.
