Sadness is a relative term and it depends on how we view things. I equate sadness to problems and problems to a situation which for me is difficult to deal with.
In my younger years, I feel sad when I cannot play or cannot tag along my parents. In my grade school and high school days, I feel sad when I get low grades, when my mom scolds and reprimands me, and when there's a fight between me and my siblings. In my college and post graduate years, I feel sad when I am under stress and when there is a misunderstanding in a relationship. Lately, I feel sad when I am tired and when I do not get the results I expect.
Like everyone else, I desire to be happy and at peace. I base my happiness on things and conditions. I tell myself, "I will be happy when I get good results from my work" or I will be happy when I get the jewelry or bag I want" or "I will be happy if my hubby would agree with me". But then, as soon as I get what I want, I again become dissatisfied as I tend to desire or expect more. I know, I am so shallow!
I then realized that it is because I have attached certain conditions to my happiness.

Lately, I have been thinking too much. I tell myself that "I am disappointed and sad" and that "I am expecting more". In the process, it is not only I who is sad as I had also affected the happiness of the people I love. I feel sorry for that.
In this lifetime, I know problems and misunderstandings would come and it is up to me on how to deal with them. If I want to be happy, I should not react negatively and I should always have positive thoughts. As I have said, it is up to me. If I choose to be happy, I would be happy and so will the people around me.
It is hard, I know. But no matter how hard it is, I will try to have an open mind and learn how to have a positive stand. After all, as my sister KA tells me, I am not the center of the universe!
