PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS

It has been a very long long time since I opened up my own blog to start writing something again. I've been very busy with work since I've started working for about 9 months now. But I think the reason to have gotten me back to blogging is because of what I feel now.

My parents have just left to perform their Hajj few days ago. I wasn't sad that they were leaving at first because I'm used to being far apart from them and I'm used to the part when they went away for holidays in other countries or something. So I went back home to see them and sent them to the airport. My mom started crying which was I thought a usual thing for her knowing how emotional she can be. But when my dad too started to cry it just hit me with a bang!

He hugged me and said to me he only wishes that God would accept him and he would ask for nothing more. But when one of the religious teacher heard that she said that we should not think that way, that we still do need to ask what we want because even our Great Prophet Mohammed asked for something when he was performing his Hajj. I think I understand what my dad meant when he said he doesn't want to ask for more. I think that's because he has realized that he has been blessed and been showered with so much of everything that he has ever wished for, that he is just too greatful for every single thing.

The next couple of days after that I was at home taking care of my 2 little sisters. They are now 12 and 13 years old. I was sick at that time but they were very responsible and they took care of me and made me soup and brought me my medicine and cleaned up the house for me too :) Then I realized how lucky my parents are because their children are very obedient, responsible and we are all good children to them.

I believe that our family has been blessed with so much. We have each other and we love each other so much. Not only that, we have really cute pets too and I feel that there is so much of love in our family. Of course there are rough patches every now and then here and there. It hasn't been all blooming flowers everytime but I guess that's what makes life more challenging and fun :)

I hope I will be as lucky as my parents are one day. Some people believe that happyness is something that you can pursuit but you can never get.

I don't know if happyness is something that we can only pursuit but never achieve. Maybe we can't always get whatever we want but that doesn't mean we cant be happy. And maybe by being sad lets you accomplish something, something worth going through for, maybe something that teaches you about the beauty of life.
