What will you choose between smile and tears?

Have you ever been overcurious about something? Take that chance to write with a pen for the first time, or trying out your newly bought clothes, or a plan of going out with friends, or maybe an online date. And what if I say that at the last moment it turns out to be something which you’ve never imagined? Well, most of us (or maybe everyone) have gone through something like that before.

It was my Uncle’s wedding this week and I was too curious about it. However, things went upside down when I reached home. I got to know that a member of my family had departed for heaven and that too just a day before the wedding. Everyone was hurt and the happiness and music, which should’ve been there, were replaced by sadness and silence.

People suggested of postponing the marriage but due to some traditions, it couldn’t happen. Two souls started a new life with sadness and demise all over them. And then it occurred to me: Why do we choose sadness over happiness? I mean, both of these things (marriage & death) happened at the same time but people chose the way of sadness, the evil, which shouldn’t have happened. Why do we keep looking for the things which are gone rather than the ones which are coming? I know it’s hard to move on in a single day but doesn’t happiness heal all the wounds of people? Instead of making his children smile, people were reminding them of past, about the things which were gone forever and never coming back. I wanted to cry from the rooftop that there’s happiness right in front of you and you need to embrace it.

Isn’t our future more important than our past? Well, it is. And that’s why we should make it better. We should choose smile over tears, and that’s the only way to move on, that’s the only way how humans have progressed till now. We invent something and if it doesn’t work or die out, we invent something else. As simple as that. But they’re emotions, right? And, we cannot invent them. Yes! You’re right. We can neither invent emotions nor do we have to, because they’re already present inside us. We just have to choose, choose between a sad and demise life and go down & down or a happy and cheerful life and go high above the sky. Maybe it’s hard but it’s not impossible. And next time, instead of crying with someone try to make them feel good. Even an ISIS terrorist can gift tears, but happiness (Yes! Happiness) is really hard, I mean easier.

So, what will you choose between smile and tears?
