Happiness of Life π©Ά
I was thinking about what title I should choose for my blog or what topic to explore. Then I thought about my past and felt sad. But after some reflection, I told myself, "Lubaba, happiness doesn't have to be tied to special occasions, celebrations, or social media posts.
Why are you depending on such things for your joy?"
I laughed at myself for being silly and kept laughing for a while. That’s when I realized—happiness doesn’t need a reason. It’s always with us; we just have to find it within ourselves. Happiness isn’t linked to another person or event.
Isn't it funny?
One moment I was sad thinking about this, and the next, I made fun of my own thoughts and cheered myself up. Honestly, it’s foolish to keep looking for a reason to be happy. But in this silliness, I found my blog topic:
"Is Happiness Just a State of Mind?"
I may not be entirely wise, but I’ve learned a lot from life. Someday, I’ll share those lessons with you in detail. For now, let’s focus on this blog.
Reasons for Sadness in Life
Today, I promise you that life doesn’t bring sadness on its own. Allah created us, and He loves us immensely. He doesn’t let sorrow come to us without purpose. What we call “sadness” often stems from broken expectations. And yes, this is a universal truth.
Sadness arises when we pin our hopes on others, and those hopes shatter.
Pain happens when someone close to us changes or leaves.
But tell me, is it really someone else’s fault?
I don’t think so. The real mistake lies in expecting too much.
Why blame others for our hurt?
Are they God? Do they control everything?
Blaming others for our own errors is easy. We place expectations on people, and when they don’t meet them, we label them as disloyal or deceitful. The truth is, we humans depend on others for everything, even our happiness. That’s the real issue.
Nowadays, especially among youth, happiness is tied to love or relationships. They connect their joy to another person, which is a dangerous mindset. I once read something that deeply resonated with me.
"The pain of depending on someone for happiness is greater than the pain of death itself."
Self-Reflection
Let me share something I’ve realized over time. A person’s personality is a reflection of their thoughts. But this doesn’t mean external traits like skin color determine someone’s character. Judging someone by their appearance is an ignorant mindset.
We’ve become so engrossed in this materialistic, practical world that we’ve drifted far from the principles of Islam. This detachment only harms us. We’ve attached ourselves to technology, fashion, and modernism, thinking that the more modern and open-minded someone is, the more successful they must be. This reflects our flawed thinking.
Positivity is crucial for a good life. If our mindset is positive, everything will seem perfect. We’ll live a fulfilling life and set an example for others. I hope this inspires you to stop searching for excuses to be happy and instead maintain positivity in all matters.
Wishing you a life full of happiness and positivity! π
