title: Happiness..
Can you really measure happiness?
To a certain extent.. YES!!
I have just finished reading this TIMES article on the special report about the research on Happiness. I was quite with and against some of the things that they used to measure happiness and their theory behind their measurement..
However, I so glad to know what, when I did their test. I was exceedingly satisfy with my life.. In one way, it can be interpretated that I'm an easily contented person with no high expectations.. I totally agree to it.
My life in the beginning was extremely miserable.
Bitterness grew me and nutured me.
However, when Christianity became a relationship between God and myself, rather than a religion bounded by legalism. My destiny was rewritten..
Jesus, to a kid then was just a character I was spurred to want to meet.
All the stories about him made Him like an adventurer.
But, of all the godly characters, King David was the one that I really want to be. The story of Goliath vs David.. made me want to be MORE!! like him.
Now, when I'm doing bible studying by myself..
I'm still enticed by David.. His life and his accomplishments..
Not to even mention, our lifes seem to be alike.
The discrimination from the Daddy.. he was not presented before Samuel the priest to be anointed as King over Irsael.
The burden to submit to authority.. he did all the menial work and had to care for the sheep flock that is like working for the family business.
Music lover.. Just like me.
Struggle with lust.. Just like me.
So I know that if I place God before all my piorities..
My life will be as colourful as his and much much more interesting..
Imagine someone does a biography of your whole life.. AWESOME!!!
So isn't that wonderful to know, that what you are going thru.. someone who was powerfully used by God to accomplish great stuff, also went thru it. Somemore is long before you are even born.. I'm grateful for that. I'm not alone..
Even though, both of us are living in different time and space.. but our God is still the same as yesterday, today and tomorrow. So He's going to care for me as well and I will want to be another 'man after His heart'..
Let the misery die and live happily ever after..
Now I have better understanding why I faced depression for the past week.
Cos.. according to Newton's gravitational law..
'What goes up, will eventually comes down.'
Life can't be always happy happy, no trouble..
That's extremely positive, which is abnormal and unhealthy..
So.. the reason I was blue, was to pull me back to reality.
Have a bunch of Aura V friends was awesome.
Being one of the members of 1A04 was awesome
Meeting BERrrr was awesome.
Meeting other friends thru her was awesome.
To know RocMoc people was awesome.
To be able to adapt in SRJC was awesome.
To manifest like never before was awesome.
Everything was awesome.
If I did not experience the depressive state..
I will start to be easily contented, my confort zone will slowly shrink..
Happiness will be just like that. Meeting people and enjoy God's presence..
And the last thing, God ever wants, is His people to be complacence and be caught unnoticed.
Actually.. I got alot to type though.
But i'm exhausted and still have to type testimonals..
So i will keep the rest for the next time..
Woo.. -blink blink-
ZZZzzzz..
