It was late in the day that I learned that yesterday, March 20, 2015, was "International Day of Happiness" day :) I tried to find a fitting material; a post, a picture or better still a video that would speak to me about happiness means.
I found some and thus created this blog post - if only to meet the UN "deadline" :)
The materials I found were "OK" I guess. But none really struck that proverbial "chord" in me.
Until I found this "Life in Baghdad" video barely less than 24 hours later :)
#WIT (What I Think) The kind of "real world" around us does not have to dictate the kind of Happiness we in ourselves could have. Happiness happens, as it always does, from within us, from our hearts us, from our spirits. And particularly in the case of the people of Baghdad, Happiness comes from Defeating Fear.
Not that the existence of danger is blindly ignored or denied. No. It is denying danger the power to instill fear - now that is when the defeat of danger begins and happiness happens.
Thank you people of Baghdad for actualizing this insight and thus, making this insight a FACT.
