The post is based on this quote I read a long while ago "You either think or be happy". I laughed at this quote when I read it, and thought, heh! nonsense that is so not true.
But yesterday as it happened so, I was at FOSS.IN attending the closing ceremony, where Raghu Dixit was performing an awesome concert. I was standing in the roaring crowd, jumping with joy, nearly bringing the roof down [ ] perplexed and slightly dissatisfied and a little dejected, pondering over several things that I had planned for and how things turned out totally opposite to it.
Then it hit me.
Why am I low in the middle of this blithe and boisterous gathering thinking about totally unrelated and useless jibber jabber, refusing to participate with the mirthful proceedings? It was then, that moment, I decided, there are times, where its simply not worth thinking about things, times when you just have to forget what is on your mind and be a part of the merry crowd.
There are times where it doesn't really matter if you are thinking about something, it doesn't matter if you rant about it, it doesn't matter if you achieved something or lost something. Times when all you need to do is forget about everything and be happy.
Now, think about it, the times you were in a gleeful crowd feeling totally out of place, was it really worth missing out on all the fun? Was it really worth thinking, "I wish I could be alone or talking about the issue to someone" and responding "nothing" to someone asking if anything is disturbing you?
My two cents: It actually is good to forget about things that din't go the way you want, the next time you think about them, they won't seem so bad after all.[But, never forget to learn your lesson though].
Don't worry be happy! :-)
P.S. You might want to try listening to Raghu Dixit, some songs are really nice.
