Enjoying solitude, that's what I was doing until I heard a guitar... Yeah, a guitar... In the heart of the Sci Fac a guitar.. I looked around and spotted a guy playing a guitar... His eyes were closed as if he's admiring his own play... He was making music... though I didn't know the words of his song, it perfectly matched the environment.. a perfect background music, that's how I felt.. Memories came flooding back, a flashback of my life.. Then I heard the voice, that voice of the North Korean defector I listened to, in the morning.. " In the rest of the world people are so stressed because they go after materialistic things, Even when I was starving in North Korea I was happy."
I was trying to figure out what's wrong with me during last few weeks.. And suddenly I knew why.. It's coz I chose it.. I chose this life to be like this.. Faculty of science, the place where scientists are produced is full of stressed people with busy lifestyles..in the middle of such an environment one single person is enjoying what he really loves alone. We can't have happiness if we are chasing it.. Nowadays it's like I will pass this exam and after that I'll enjoy.. We always postpone looking for happiness, and we try looking for it in materialistic things.. Most of us think that to be happy in future, we have to work hard now.. A bigger house, a better car... In the race we will in fact buy a bigger house,but how many will be able to spend time in those? We will work hard then also.. We will only be using those houses just to sleep at night.. Life has become a marathon.. We try looking for happiness in future,but it's within us always..We just have to figure it out... Life is not about money and luxury.. Life is too short for regrets.. It's ok to fail, it's ok not to have an iphone,a benz,a luxury apartment.. but it's not okay to die unhappy.. Life is a short journey..until you reach the final destination,be happy.. :)
