The Happiness of Negativity

Life as they say happens to us all. Perhaps some, more than others.

We often find ourselves in situations that are unpalatable, which sometimes makes us question our existence and the popular cliche; "why do bad things happen to good people?" comes to fore. When people make these statements, I tell them good and bad happens to us all. It is the reason we have day and light, sun and rain, black and white, male and female.

Just like birth and death sits opposite each other. Good things will happen to us and definitely, we cannot miss out on the bad. Just like that - Life!

There is however a thought I have always tried to give answers to but all the time, evasive.

It's simple; "Why do some humans find happiness in the predicament of others?"

I never used to worry about these things until life began to happen to some people. However, the issue was why some other humans began to laugh at, scorn and make jest of those in such situations. Have we lost our humanity?

People often tend to forget that no one controls the next minute, the next second even. And within the twinkling of an eye, it can all come to nothing.

Perhaps it is how they find joy. But who finds joy in the sorrows of others?

There may not be answer(s) to this question but what remains a fact is that everything is wrong with it. EVERYTHING.

I may not get to finally understand but that is fine anyway. I can live with that. But what I cannot live with is people with such mindset. NEVER!

Till the bright days become dark, till sunrise turns cold, Life will go on but one thing is sure, for everyone and everything in-between, there will be good and bad days. No one can escape it.

The Happiness of Negativity remains a mystery. To Me.
