It's not that I'm pessimistic or anything, because I'm not, but sometimes I have to be rational. I've always heard people say that the higher you climb the further you have to fall, and this can be applied to many aspects of life- love, careers, education, wealth, happiness, and anything that can be measured by success or lack thereof...
I think maybe the reason why so many people have a hard time being completely happy is because of the instability of happiness versus the certainty of sadness. A lot of us are guilty of putting walls up because we are all scared to death of falling, of letting someone down, of letting ourselves down, and ultimately of facing ourselves..
We need to be okay with letting ourselves feel that sadness and not feel like its a bad thing, because we're human and we feel things and why pretend to be perfectly fine if you know that you can't help it because life simply goes on and you have to deal with it, like the cliches that tell us that we need the bad to truly appreciate the good (and that's a whole other idea..how flawed are we as humans that we need bad to see good, anyways)...
I'm thankful that Christ is the source of my joy- and in my life, and hopefully in yours too, this fact is undeniable. It's a joy and a peace so perfect that I can't explain. He fills every void in my soul and I am forever grateful for that.
But we are all still human. And our souls are always involuntarily restless.
