A moment of happiness

A moment of happiness is when someone tells me that they like the food I made


A moment of happiness is when I turn around and see a baby giving me a big smile


A moment of happiness is when I'm filled with his scent


A moment of happiness is when I wake up in the morning and see the person I love sleeping beside me


A moment of happiness is when I find myself driving up to Signal Hill and looking over the city of Dunedin


A moment of happiness is when I hit that beat at the that right time


A moment of happiness is when I know that you are happy too


A moment of happiness is when I know that my family is healthy and safe


A moment of happiness is when I reach out for help, there is always a shoulder that I can lean on


A moment of happiness is when I find myself thinking about you


A moment of happiness is when I love myself for who I am




You know what? the moment of happiness is now, I have had or have everything that I mentioned above, so why should I look for more?  when I have or had so much already?

But we all have this bowl of greed, the older we get, the bigger the bowl gets, No matter how much we try and fill it, it does not fill right to the top, like if there is a hole on the bottom.

It's a pure greed that satisfy the human beings.

Humans are completely spoilt from the moment they are born. For all of our life, we seek and seek and seek for that absolute end of complete happiness. But then if we did reach that moment, then why would a life mean??

I had a conversation with Astronomer long long time a go, about the meaning of life as a whole.  He claimed that there is no meaning to a human existence, and it's a human arrogance that makes us think there is a point in living.  There is no meaning, that we don't even need to exist as a part of the life circle.  Sure, everything we do is going against the life circle, so why do we seek, why do we breathe, why did we even exist to begin with?? Is there is no point like he said??

Now, I'm not the most religious person on the planet, but I like to believe hat there is a meaning of life.  I'd like to believe that there are certain things on this world that flows in a certain direction whether we like to or not.  If something happens that doesn't quite make sense, or think it happened at a wrong timing, I'd say there was a reason why it happened at this particular point in time.   No matter how small or big our "destiny" is, I think it is our role as being born in this planet to fulfill that meaning.

So at the end of the life,  I want to say "I'm glad that I was born, and THIS is why I was born, and I am happy to have the life that I had".

Is this still greed?
