The price for peace

Good and bad events happen. These are the natural occurrences that reflect on man's dependence. At one point we are happy, the next minute we are sad, we wish the happy moments last forever, but then we realize we have no control over what happens to us. A friend once told me that as long as we live, we are bound to experience sad moments and it is fate upon every human. Therefore, no man is completely happy, we are faced with sadness regardless of one's socioeconomic status and companionship.

Based on the fact that happiness is not absolute, my current life is not all I've desired of myself. So, if I have the opportunity to buy happiness, I would, especially during moments when bad things happen. Most people would encourage that we find happiness even in small things, but sometimes we find it hard to draw joy from them because we feel the stagnation that still comes with little things and the weight of the burden that's demanded from people who rely on us. Buying happiness would be the escape route to this pain that runs in our veins daily, buying happiness would compensate for a lot of moments that ruin our beautiful day.

If I could buy happiness, it would be to kill the pain that steals the joy from the beautiful times I've shared with friends and family. Our lives would no longer keep a record of pain, sad news, and the deadly disease that kills people on a daily basis(high blood pressure). If all that can eradicate high blood pressure is buying happiness as a way of life, then it would save me and a lot of people from losing loved ones who would have died as a result of it. It may be expensive to manage, but happiness is what makes one desire to live longer.

My current life is full of hope and high expectations for the future which is unknown. This hope buys us happiness and a zeal to keep pushing and only compounds the feeling of failure if our expectations are not met and probably result in something worse. Why not save the load that burdens our future with a daily chunk of happiness. If happiness could be bought, I would buy , but only on days where it would serve the most and save me from certain pain that may come from the past or present bad event or news.
