Over the Easter break, capping it with an Easter Vigil, the sermon moved me of that question... How much joy can we take... As said, "mababaw ba ang kaligayanhan mo?" how easy is it really to keep joy and happiness linger enough to stretch a lifetime?
During the same break, I had one of my PMS-initiated-fights with pierre. One of those i was just too KSP for him as i wasn't able to have a decent conversation as he was too busy with his stay cation of play stations. Eventually, as most of our fights, led to distraction of what we did during our break and ending the conversation, over text, with sorries and its a woman thing. Eventually, his texts went serious which eventually led us to our nightly routine of prayers and sweet nothings which always lulled me to sleep.
What makes one happy? how can we sustain this happiness (that would at least get thru hormonal imbalances :) ) and be able to have that energy to go thru day to day activities without thinking of the stresses and bitter pangs of life. Pierre's ability to spot if i was just having a monthly driven irritation still amazes me. THough most of the time it does not come that easily, i am just thankful that in some level he knows and not take me seriously (which is also a cause of irritation.) Though this is one of thinks that perhaps gives me "pure joy".
Perhaps struggles are there to make us define what joy is. Perhaps hardships are there to make the world a better place as we learn to appreciate what makes us happy. a fight is needed as it builds character and it makes you learn a lot of things about handling yourself.
