Happiness, defined; things that help you find happiness, keep it, and share it with others.
On survival
On survival. The question of existence still haunts me in the silence of the stillness that loneliness brings with it. To be or not to be, to exist in the coexistence of dualistic forces, to dance with the uncertainty or to play it along the periphery, what I hold certain, has always questioned me, bemoaned me. Truth be told, I beheld the cry for help when its absence called in silent whispers around the blanket of dwelling and absconded its abundant presence over me. There is a painting that traces the bits of serenity in my life, the colors that adorn the hues of the almighty run deep through the veins of my soul to find the brevity of pain. I glance at the picture of Lord Krishna, reminiscing the days that passed by. Darkness sets its sterility in the brimming light of today, as the dawn of today paints itself in the colours of the dusk of yesterday.

A secret to curiosity
Anhedonia, or a lack of interest in pretty much anything, is a common symptom of depression. It's also a social issue, emergent in the specialization and mechanization of any and every one thing. We go to school to learn how to do one thing really well. Any time spent doing anything else is pretty much a waste. We also accept a lot of things that we encounter day to day with no real interest. Like how does Wi-Fi actually work? And if you're really in need of an answer, just Google it, read it, mumble something like "oh" or "cool" and mentally get rid of it as quickly as possible unless it serves you in some specific way.
