what makes you happy?

I asked a friend of mine....at 12 midnight..what made him happy? he was confused tryign to figure out why I was asking this wierd question at such an unusual hour, but also he needed to think about it...hhmm..what makes me happy???

What makes you feel like your worth it....that life is worth living....??

I wanted to actually call up a few people and ask them what the meaning of happiness was?? was it different to everyone? did everyone have a different perception about it? do we need to define what is means? or just live.....

For me I think happiness is ..feeling like your alive...the other day I was playing with my nephew and he has this adorable baby giggle, which just melts my heart... and for me, that was being happy....or eating mint choco chip ice cream on a hot afteroon, or playing "Death Uno" and smashing my friend sage...

But for some people happiness is material ...it's got to be someting tangible, otherwise how can you say you have something to be happy about....??.....

what's happiness to you??? isnt it worth talking about??

wouldnt it make the world a better place to live in, if everyone found happiness in the little simple things in life rather than worrying about how much is costs???

traffic signs

whilst in the midst of horn blarring in my ear and a dusty trail of cars, lorries and container trucks all huddled uptogether, I had sometime....to take a glance at all those lonely tarffic posts on the side of the road.....
we do not respect them the way we should..people were leaning on them, spitting onto them, and well, humans and animals were using them as "sign" posts....pitty....sigh..
But if you look close enough at them...(not only does it help take your mind away from the idiot in the next vehicle, who thinks he owns the darn road) ..you will realize that it displays some similarities to our live.....
take for example -

- move along....no matter how fast you really wanna go , you still gotta share the road ahead with the lazy, ignorant and the slow...

- example number 2 - no matter how much you try to ignore the fact, we need people to love us...so, face it..there will always be a woman or a man next to you..helping you through those rough times or celebrating the good ones....


- and last but not least example number 3 - sorry dude...no where to go...your stuck with the decision you made to love or not, to cheat the old lady for the seat on the bus, to kiss you bosses @!# to get that promotion...so live with it, cos there's no exit to this life....

so next time your idling your precious time away, seated in your vehicle....take a look around...you might find a sign post that just might say what your feeling about your life.....
