Theorems Of Happiness

Theorems Of Happiness
Thinking of her as an abstract entity is all that I can do. I hold the potential to turn abstract thoughts into concrete words, and this is a part of the least I can do to help myself out of the predicament I find myself in today. One day she is to proceed to be a lot more to me than the abstraction she is today, but I don’t think she deserve any more attention than the abstract image I hold of her in my mind today. The image is to have a physical form one day, and I’m sure the two shall not collate. There shall be absolutely no similarity between the ideal image in my mind and the concrete reality she is to bring with herself into my life; I can only hope for the best.

Whatever be the concrete form, and whatever may be the positive and negative points of the reality that is to be a part of my life one day, I shall not have a choice but to stage-manage the drama of life with the two of us as its principal protagonists for a long time. The drama is to be projected to the world as if it were a comedy whether it is one or not one, I know. The most important point to be borne in mind is that the drama is to be staged whether I like it or not, and I have to be one of the principal protagonists and chief organizers of the drama.  I hold the most important and significant position in managing the show, I know, but a lot of it is pre-scripted.

The drama wasn’t rehearsed in any manner, so no one ever got a hint of what is to be enacted in the play. The protagonists were selected a long time back, but the flow of the drama wasn’t known for sure. No one knows whether the drama is to end in a tragedy or a comedy, although the end is pre-scripted. Like many things in life, this is to be a big surprise for me.  I like surprises, so I only have to wait for the drama to end to know the final result.

The end is not very far off. Time is sure to fly by and it will certainly pull the end a bit closer every single day. I don’t look forward for the curtains to be drawn very soon. I want it to go on for quite a long time. I want it to be longer than any other drama I have or anyone else has ever witnessed. I want it to have all the paraphernalia of a drama while it is staged. It should be replete with comedy in its purest form, while tragedy should reflect itself in its purest avatar from the mirrors in the hands of all the protagonists.

There is sure to be a lot of adventure and thrill in store for the protagonists, while an occasional deluge of tears is sure to bring down cymbals of music that have climbed up too high. An occasional interruption of the continuum of happiness in life by tears can never be avoided; they form an essential part of our lives. Their presence is so dominating over my life that there are times when I feel the continuum is formed of tears and not by happiness. I may be wrong, but I must do my best to propel all ingredients of a comedy into the drama of my life.

The world populace always looks upon the comic genre of drama as good. If the drama is tilted towards being a tragedy  or a melodrama in the slightest manner, it is not perceived in a positive light by anyone in the world. Tragedies are sure to cast their shadows over a large part of our lives, but we must do our best to tone down their effects seem to a bare minimum. The dominant and strongest ingredient of our lives should be a sober continuum even if it cannot be a comedy.

On second thoughts, this is largely a matter of perception. Life presents a completely different set of experiences before each of its individual subscribers, and everyone forms his or her own typical opinion about life based on the experiences one encounters. Every one moulds oneself as per the typical experiences one encounters in life. There are sure to be a hundred and one different experiences we are going to encounter as many islands of happiness are to be discovered in the ocean of tears by the explorers in the two of us.

We are out to solve many theorems of happiness in life. We are going to learn a lot of facts of living from each other, and the process of learning and teaching is never to end. The most important of these facts is that while discovering the joy of life is more about giving happiness to the other partner, it is also about getting the same in a different and yet similar form. Happiness is to be distributed and redistributed in a proportionate form all over our lives.

I hope we get to learn many theorems of happiness.
