Where do we find happiness? Some people said wealth and luxury is enough to make us happy, fame is enough to make us happy and beauty is enough to make us happy. Physically and mentally, yes, you might say you are happy with those mentioned things. But then didn’t you just thought that spiritually you are poor in happiness? I might say, no, we are not going to be happy if we find ourselves our loved ones are not with us during our popularity and luxurious life.
It’s just then I’ve realized recently based on my own experience, on my 20th year of living. My past 19 years I might say I am so happy. I thought I am happy because of our wealth, our family business is getting stronger, I am one of the campus popular student, and I can get everything I want. I didn’t even realize then that I am happy because I’m with my family and loved ones. I honestly admit, I became a bratty and spoiled daughter before, until i find myself few of my friends are getting distance on me and some of our relatives are telling me “I am so hard headed and a spoiled brat”. Maybe because they knew me as a lola’s girl and she gave me everything I want. Until the time comes that my lola suffers from diabetes. I cannot do something. In and out from the hospital and ICU, until the time has come, on her 3rd time at the ICU she died in front of me and my mom together with my aunty. I was still at shocked but suddenly as I am crying beside my lola’s bed I realized that everything I have will be gone and everything will change. It was then I kept on thinking why do people cry when someone from their loved ones is gone? The only thing that came up to my mind? It’s because family and loved ones is a person’s happiness, not our luxury and wealth nor even material things in this world. Love and respect from the people around us is our happiness.
