Papa once said, “Isn’t when you love someone, your happiness is to be together? Having fun alone is not that appealing anymore. Your happiness is when you can share the fun with him.”
The Alchemy of Happiness
For instance, if a man ceases to take any concern in worldly matters, conceives a distaste for common pleasures, and appears sunk in depression,
The doctor will say, “This is a case of melancholy, and requires such and such prescription.
The physicist will say, “This is a dryness of the brain caused by hot weather and cannot be relieved till the air becomes moist.”
The astrologer will attribute it to some particular conjunction or opposition of planets.
“Thus far their wisdom reaches,” says the Koran.
It does not occur to them that what has really happened is this: that the Almighty has a concern for the welfare of that man, and has therefore commanded His servants, the planets or the elements, to produce such a condition in him that he may turn away from the world to his Maker.
The knowledge of this fact is a lustrous pearl from the ocean of inspirational knowledge, to which all other forms of knowldge are as islands in the sea.
~ Imam Al-Ghazali
"I’m here today to tell you about a woman I love. I’m in love with someone right now. I really love her. She’s someone who can find joy and hope in little things. Being with her brings me joy. She’s the first person to teach me what happiness is. Because I really love her, in order to protect her, I’m about to get a divorce. I’m sure you’re curious but I can’t reveal who she is now. She’s a kind but ordinary person. But to me she’s the most important and special person."
Full House
"It’s easy to find a woman who would want to go out for dinners and vacations with you. It’s not easy to find a woman who can share your ambitions, dreams, happiness and your burdens with you."
Love IS NOT Pain. Pain is pain. If you feel pain, then it musn’t be love. Because if you love, you’ll do everything sincerely and all you can feel just happiness and tons of love, NOT pain, for sure.
"Grudges are a waste of perfect happiness. If there’s someone in your life who deserves another chance, give it to them. If you need to apologize, do it. Give your story together a happy new beginning."
Marc and Angel
"Truly happy memories always live on, shining. Over time, one by one, they come back to life."
