I have been talking to a friend of mine who went through something crappy. And she has been very upset for a really long time because of that. She seems to have lost her will to smile. Okay, so almost everyone goes through something or the other. Her, you, me. Everyone. Few of us are lucky enough to get over problems easily that is they either suck it up or solve it. Some put up a brave face while others just fall apart and give up.
Definitely not. But what is possible is to change your outlook towards things.
What people have forgotten is that happiness is not permanent, it is a temporary thing. It is not the main thing in our life. Being content is the main thing. Being satisfied is the main thing. Satisfied and content with what you have, with who you've got.
There is an act that I have to study as a part of this semester's syllabus, 'The Sale Of Goods Act, 1930'. I won't go deep in law but there is a section which defines 'condition' and 'warranty'. Condition is the main part of a contract while warranty is a subsidiary part of the contract. If somebody doesn't fulfil the condition the contract can be repudiated, but in case of warranty the contract continues to exist and can't be repudiated.
Basically, if life is a contract then happiness is the warranty. It is essential but it is not the main part. You can't go 'I give up!' or 'I suck!' or 'You suck!' and 'I can't be happy anymore'. You need to realize that no matter what happens, the contract still exists and can't be repudiated. Life goes on. Nothing lasts forever, not even sadness. You can't truly appreciate happiness, if you haven't seen sadness. And, I think the moment you realize that, you can overcome anything.
Basically, how is it possible for some people to smile even when everything seems to be falling apart?
How is it possible to have hope when everything seems lost?
Is it really possible to follow 'however long the night, dawn will break' philosophy?
How is it possible to be happy forever?
Is it possible?
Definitely not. But what is possible is to change your outlook towards things.

Life is too short to be anything but happy! So, relax. Don't over think(Ironic that I am saying it cause I am the queen of over thinking :P). No matter what you think, everything will be okay. If not today, then tomorrow. But, it will be fine. So just smile and be happy :D
