We wake up everyday with a number of questions on our minds - some general and some specific, some routine and some new. There are not only questions, but some answers too. There are some hidden anxieties and hopes as well. Then there are ideas, thoughts, fears, pains, desires and expectations. Sometimes, all this feels in perfect congruity, and at other times everything seems convoluted.
This sequence continues as the day progresses. Some questions get answered; others keep on struggling for them. More questions keep getting added to the list. The multi-dimensional human processing unit (HPU) takes it in all, goes through the grind, registers some of it in memory, expels some of it, and at the end of the day has an updated report ready for us to peruse. This seemingly unending cycle carries on day in and day out till the HPU meets its expiry.
With its innumerable facets, life is an astounding phenomenon. As human beings, we come face to face with the naturally existing struggles as well as the struggles of our own making. The biggest and most important, and perhaps the simplest, question we all seem to not find an answer to is : how do you live life happily? Obviously, a simple question as that doesn't seem to have a simple answer.

How do you live life happily? The simple answer is (for me) "by developing an attitude of gratitude".
However, reaching that point took me a long time!
Are you blogging elsewhere? It would be good to read your writings.
