What Doesn't Kill You Make You Stronger

Sitting alone in the dark in my room while looking at my surroundings where I laid my eyes on my candles. I remembered how fire is hateful to us because it cause us pain. But then I realized, sometimes we need to feel pain and go through something hurtful to become stronger. If I started to count the happy moments and sad ones I had in my whole life till now, it would be hard. Because I had hundreds of happy moments, but thousands of sad ones. Or so that's what my memory tells me. But my heart knows how wrong that is....

We all go through bad times and happy times almost equally. The smile I have from hearing a joke is a happy moment. The laughs and the fun I feel with my friends is a happy moment. The glow in my eyes when I see someone close to me happy is another happy moment. The thought of me being healthy, being able to see, hear, touch and feel, walk and run around is another happy moment. The bless of having a religion that warms the heart and make your soul peaceful is also a happy moment. I realized how we tend to forget what are we happy for or our happy moments in our lives, but we always remember the bad and painful things. I'm one of those people who can't forget what happens. Not in happy moments, nope....I can't forget when I get hurt....When I feel pain....When I lose something precious....and the list continues....So, let's take some moment to think to ourselves, what are we happy for?

I know I'm talking in everyone's place when I say, our happiest moment currently is being alive surrounded by our beloved ones, family in this holy month. I think our happy moments also keep us stronger just as the sad ones.
