I don’t understand why people always think of making themselves happy… I don’t see happiness in that at all. It seems very selfish to make yourself happy. Don’t people feel happy when they make others happy?
I always try to make others happy before I make myself happy, I don’t why. Numerous people question me why. I tell them I don’t know why. It’s just the way I am I guess.
People always tell me, you should always make yourself happy before concerning yourself with others. I don’t understand, how can I be happy, when there are others that are in the same situation as you? Isn’t it hard to be happy with others suffering around you? But if I make these people around me happy, wouldn’t I be happy too?
It’s confusing; sometimes I don’t even understand myself. Why do I try so hard to make others happy instead of making myself happy? Is it the feeling of satisfaction I get after helping others becomes happy?
Like this one time, one of my friends felt really down and he started to post depressing posts all over Facebook. I was in a depressed state too, so I know how he felt. However, I felt like I needed to help him in order for me to lift myself out of my own depression. I tried my best to convince not to be so emotional, give life one more chance. Even though, he was really stubborn, he tried to be happier. In a few hours, he turned a 180 becoming a positive person instead of the pessimistic person he always represented. I don’t know what I did right but I don’t think I can convince myself to be happier with everything I said.
However I indeed became happier when he became happy. It’s weird, happiness is so contagious. Once someone else has it, you’re bound to catch some symptoms no matter how strong your immune system may be. Happiness is so mysterious; how I obtain it in this bizarre manner, I have no idea. But I have made this into my motto: make others happy, because you’re going to catch it.
