WHAT IF THAT WAS ME!!!!

we get it, life is too short. Too short for grudges, regrets, resentments, hatred, sadness and despair.
But with life’s great possibility for sadness, propensity much of our time is spent slogging through negative emotions. And at times it seems inevitable to end up just like the person next door. A sorrowful robot like-person walking around like a ghost, a person who you’ve always pitied but never imagined you would ever end up in his shoes. 
Too much misery around us, too much killing, just too much pain...our social media news feed is floating with depressing news!.
you wonder" how can I choose to be happy amid all of this misery" you feel guilty for all your privileges and blessings, you feel guilty for wanting the newest gadgets when some of your brothers and sisters are dying of hunger and fear everyday, you wonder how the world had become this dark place with clashing views, believes, interest that lead to massive never-ending wars. you wonder if this will ever come to an ending, you feel helpless.
you feel helpless, you feel the least you could do is to be your best form so you would be able to help and pray, but again you feel selfish for just concentrating on yourself..then all of a sudden you're depressed.
You're depressed because you're more human than many others who claim humanity, you're depressed because you posses that rare emotion called empathy. You're depressed because you know you could have been easily that girl dying in the high seas, or that bereaved mother. you feel depressed because the new cool narrative is to not give a shit and just live or YOLO.
That dilemma, is something you learn how to live with, because it occurs every minute you decide to scan through the news.
So happiness, becomes a more difficult choice, good thing that happiness is contagious. or so, says a newly published study.
