When happiness knocks at our door in our miserable time, we get so excited and grateful to God for giving us that moment of joy. The lost smile regains and so does the lost confidence. Life turns beautiful, and we forget the past to move ahead with that happiness, in spite of knowing that it is also temporary. We start believing that the thing that brought us happiness will be going to stay with us forever. After all, God can't be cruel to snatch that thing from us, especially when we received it with lots of patience. The tiny hints keep popping indicating us that this won't last long, but the happy brain ignores them. The mind doesn't want to lose its focus from happiness.
Soon, we become habitual of those things that make us happy. It becomes a part of our lives, and we start considering them our own. However, we can't own anything other than our self, and we don't understand this. Many other people, who are sad, also need those things that make us happy. One day, God realise that somebody else is in need of happiness more than we are. It's been a year that we have been happy, and it's now the right time to give somebody else that happiness.
The thought that we don't want to give "our" thing to anybody else and why don't they create their happiness, comes to our mind. The anxiety, stress is generated in our body with the fear of losing something significant. We try to hold it tight to stop it from letting go. However, it's in liquid form.
Yes, it's gone and no more with us anymore, the happiness has faded. Now, there is nothing to look forward. The life has become ordinary, and we are back to zero. What's now, we asked God, and he said, "Why do you want me to give you the happiness? Why don't you create your happiness yourself?"
"But we don't know the ingredients" was our answer. God replied, "Keep trying with different ingredients, and maybe one day you will create the same thing that gave you happiness previously."
Let's try the combination of different ingredients every day and hope to create the source of happiness. If we are lucky, we will be able to develop in a few days or a year and if not, maybe not in our lifetime. However, we are left with no option. Maybe, God will give us that thing again in future or perhaps not. We have no idea about it.
