Sadness and happiness - what's in between?

What makes one to be happy? Or rather it is a who?
The one who is capable to make us happy is also one who is capable to make us sad.
What can make you happy can make you upset too.

Children can bring us joy but hurt as well. Our spouse, needless the say, echoes the same.
Nevertheless, I find a clear distinction between the two.
That our feelings and love towards our mate could change but NOT towards our children.
No matter what or where they have been, the layer of a parent instinct hardens not the love and that we want to protect them as best as we could.

Happiness is such a big essence in life. And for me, more than ever before.
In the past, I tend to hide my preferences, giving in for others good although inappropriate and suffer in silence. I suppose I am and should be wiser than before - to undone the above.

As such, I am doing my best to live a joyful life and applying the rule of ignorance is bliss where appropriate.
Happiness affects an overall being of a man/woman and eventually affects the other living close to them.
Each of us carry a weight of unhappiness inside us. No one is spared. Because this is simply , a life of human being. We carry such feelings that is born effortlessly.
If you are unhappy, you could do something about it. You choose.
I do know somehow, in order to be happy, you need to taste the hurt and swell to understand the relevance of happiness.

Year: 2008/2007

GO WITH HAPPINESS
Because the heart's a fool
A stranger to the room
Because the love has grown
I had to leave you alone

And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
And if you're gonna go, go with happiness

Because the promise failed
Because we're off the rails
An arrow straight and true
A gift to me from you

And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
And if you're gonna go, go with happiness

Because the heart's a fool
A stranger to the room
And because the love has grown
I had to leave you alone

And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
And if you're gonna go, go with happiness
