Ironies in Life
Suffering even though I’m happy…
That’s the title of the next episode of Honey and Clover II that I’m going to watch. It’s interesting as it’s an irony, and I just simply love ironies. But normally I don’t just like ironies just because they’re contradictory, but also because they send important messages.
Like this. The quote made me think. How true is it? And what about the reverse? Happy even though I’m suffering?
I thought about it for a while, and yes, they can both be true. And another irony that I find is that, I think most would think that it’s easier to find a situation where someone suffers even though he’s happy than where someone is happy even though one suffers.
But by experience, it’s easier to find situations where one is happy even though one suffers. I guess this is due to knowing how to do sacrifices or moritifications, and being happy because you know you’re doing what is right.
In the case where one suffers when one is happy… I think the main problem here is not really that it is uncommon. I actually believe it is very very common, but the question is whether people see that they’re suffering even though they’re happy. Example: Addiction.
And there’s another example for me, as I believe I’ve experienced it. Though I won’t really get into the details of it. All I can say is yes, I’ve experienced it. ^_^
