Happiness

Happiness is a choice one can make

Happiness

It is not in the attachment but in the detachment.

It is not in extreme closeness but in slight distance.

It is not in the crowd but in the solitude.

It is not in the dependency but in the independence.

It is not in the rift but in the peace.

It is not the cage but in the wings.

It is not in the worry but in the free living.

It is not in  depression but in the hope.

It is not in the hurt but in the healing.

It is not in the damage but in the recovery.

It is not in the dictation but in the freedom.

It is not in the Cowardice but in the courage.

It is not in the superstition but in the unveiling of truth.

It is not in sarcasm but in the constructive criticism.

It is not in the ego but in the modesty

It is not in the rigid social norms but in the modern revolutionary thoughts.

And most importantly…

It is not in the expectations with others but in the belief in oneself,

The true meaning of happiness.

Author's Note

Sometimes, It is all about how we perceive things & how we react to situations.
