The Pursuit of Happyness
Watched this film - The Pursuit of Happyness... starring Will Smith and his own son. It's an autobiographical depiction of some Chris Gardner's struggle against all odds when he first made the foray into stockbrokering (an internship that won't pay a single cent).And it was painful - really - I felt the pain for him.
One quote that struck me - "Maybe happiness is something that we can only pursue. And maybe we can actually never have it no matter what."
But somehow, I beg to differ. Happiness is something that we all have to pursue and work hard for - that I couldn't agree more. But one can actually have happiness.
Coming from a super-jaded person like me, that's hellavu lot that I am saying and conceding...
The past week of holidays for me, I have mostly been in a state of happiness.
Truely, I felt happy, bliss and contentment - which is something that doesn't come round very often.
And the thing is, it did not matter what we were doing - be it dining at the Botanic Gardens or at Tiong Bahru food centre, watching movies or just walking around in malls... I just felt... happy...
And it's a really wonderful feeling.
Thank you...
