it's wednesday

as much as i like to bitch and moan about the horrors and tragedies of the world, i have to admit, it's quite inspiring.

you view a film on suffering in africa and amidst all the tragedy your eyes are trying to process you realize that these people still have the power to smile, laugh even. and in this small act, the immensity that is the human spirit is luminous behind the dark walls of their suffering. and for a second it's hard not to think "this world can't be that bad".

even if one believes that he has had the worst life, EVER, he has to admit that there has been a moment in that life, when he was happy. and that moment, however rare, almost makes everything okay. almost makes everything serene. almost makes life even and fair. just the fact that feelings like those he has once felt, feelings of elation, love, joy, harmony... it's, well, a blissful thing. it's not always sunny. but on those days that the sun shines the perfect amount, it is irrefutable that the world and life are sometimes enough to make someone happy.

and yes, i'll use a word as simple as HAPPY... because sometimes, what more do you need?
