You know, I think we Indians are afraid to show and celebrate our happiness, lest things change around. But I feel that it's okay to be sad and okay to show when you are happy.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Certainly I'm angry at the way Indians have been treated and continue to be treated. But I don't think it's a helpless emotion.
To be happy is only to have freed one's soul from the unrest of unhappiness.
Remember that happiness is as contagious as gloom. It should be the first duty of those who are happy to let others know of their gladness.
I understand that we cannot make other people happy when they are unhappy.
We are no longer happy so soon as we wish to be happier.
It's a really skewed part of our culture that happiness is the end-all be-all. The people that force themselves to be happy all the time often end up being the most broken.
Happiness is a mysterious concept. It seems to work best as futurity: at that point I will be happy, et cetera. I feel like I experience small pieces of joy day to day.
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
What is happy? I think happy's in the moment. I don't think everybody can be happy all the time.
I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home, people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance, but they were not happy.
