It's just so easy to be happy

After watching this video, I just realized how easy it is to be happy. Look at the mom. Although her son was born deaf but the cochlea implant brings so much joy to her because she knows her darling baby can hear her now. The baby, Jonathan, was also so amused (that he dropped his pacifier) and happy to hear the mom's voice.

Yeah, sometimes as we grow older, we actually forget how lucky we are and how easy it is to be happy. At least, we have perfect hearing. Unlike Jonathan who needs to rely on his cochlea implant probably for his whole life. Well, one good thing his he can switch it off when he does not want to hear anything. (That's supposed to be a lame joke).

Sometimes, going through my social networking friend's status is just so depressing. Everybody is complaining. The tests that are coming, the heaps of assignments they need to do, not enough time, not enough money, stress from work and study blah, blah, blah. Everybody is "FML"-ing. But little to none of us (including myself) actually thinks that we are so lucky to have all this (although it's not positive). Imagine you are not born who you are now, I guess there will be no more exams, assignments, friends, shopping, clubbing, etc etc...Work, yes there will be work, more work in fact, labor jobs since young and even high level of stress when you can barely feed yourself with 3 meals a day.

So the next time anybody thinks that their life is so miserable (including me), do take a second and think about other people that are more miserable than you. Our lives are not so miserable after all, with shelter, food and bed.
