Don’t worry too much about your happiness. It is temporary.
But because you are happy that you are happy.
Your happiness will disappear before you have had enough of it.
Don’t be too excited about your sadness.
It will also disappear.
But because you insist that the sadness be gone quickly.
It will linger and sting a little more than it should.
Life plays a cruel joke on the human organism.
It gives him a kiss on the forehead, and while he relishes the gesture of affection,
It serves him with a sucker punch.
Indeed, happiness and sadness are conjoined sisters.
Wherever one is, the other is not far.
Life is life
