today, i realised how dangerous it is to let the world define for me what happiness or life is.

most people have this equation:

happiness in life = work/schoolwork + relationship with friends + relationship with parents (ok this part maybe optional for some people)

but one common factor is that none of these are constant. they are all constantly non-constant.

this means that should any one of these factors are screwed up or variable, their happiness in life would be affected. that sucks. so we get the scenario of people seldom being happy because something is always not right.

for me, i subscribe to this equation:

my happiness in life = God's Love for me & Grace (which is a constant at infinity) + other stuff like studies, relationships and the like.

by this equation, i have no reason to be unhappy.

having finally realised this, i know now that the rest are not as important as the first.

thank God for opening my eyes to this truth, that without His Love & Grace, no matter how exciting my life seems to be, it will all pass away.

i used to let the world define for me what's happiness in life, that being having lotsa friends, active social life, good grades and stuff like that.

not any more. i say this by the grace of God. =)
