We have come to be happy, at least me

We have come to be happy, at least me
"Always look on the bright side of life"

It amazes me how many people develop an infinite skill to be unhappy. They make efforts to be the best grumbler, and they are given off negative energy, to call it something. Energy that, in Ghostbusters 2, reach a state of river of evil under the big apple. I'm not talking about people how has real problems, I refer to those how are always looking an excuse to be angry against the world.

In example, almost every morning, driving to my job, there is a traffic jam. I look at the other cars and I see the tension in their faces. We will arrive late at job, as usual. Then, why, in this irremediable situation, they are tooting with car horn or shouting at people. The line is not going to move any faster, and doing so the only thing that you are going to obtain will be become old with a bad health because of the stress. I relax myself and listen to music, so the time in the line pass fast with my favourites bands. It is a moment in which I enjoy heavy metal "at the volume it must be listened", and I arrive to my job without any negative emotion in my body.

¿And what about those who goes to cinema? It seems that the whole world has develop a critic sense for art. They go inside the cinema and rather than enjoying "the magic of the movies" the spend all the time analysing the film just to tell later how bad it was and how much they have disliked it, although they already knew that before. I go inside, and relax to enjoy the film for I have gone to the cinema. I don't see a Steven Seagal expecting Sense and Sensitive.

After them, we have the parents (not the mine) that are always looking for something to be bitter about what their sons (old enough to drink alcohol, and go to jail) do. The decide to be annoyed because their grown up children goes out with their own friends, because they are late one minute of the returning hour, or because they eat in another place, in brief, because they have a life. Every time they can, they remember to their sons how upset and preoccupied they are because of what they do, and how bad and selfish they are because they go out in weekends. Their parents suffering, not knowing where they have gone and with whom, there are a lot of dangers in the night, they can't sleep until they are back at home, so they wait awake until they come, but not later than 2 o'clock we are not up to be all the night waiting. What a bad sons!!!

Finally, and a little bit apart from the rest because they are quite different, there are those who are always saying that they have some kind of curse. Everything is destiny's fault to keep their hands tighten up. Their lives are shit. Since they wake up until they go to bed everything goes bad. And when a day that could be the best day in the life of anyone, they don't enjoy because it's just the calm before the storm that is always spoiling their lives.

¿Whose life is "perfect"? Not mine. I try, as the song says, to look the bright side of life, despite there is a lot of people keep trying to look only the worst.
