Homo Sapiens


Life is a heap of emotions and feelings, a careful mixture of happy and sad ones, however for some unknown reason humans tend to hold on to the not so happy ones. We all cherish the happy moments of our lives but we don't recall them often. Whatever memories we tend to recollect have a bit of sadness attached to them.
I haven't yet been able to figure out why. Maybe we like to be in that gloomy state, or we just want people to be sympathetic towards us, or we just want to be a part of the majority!
It’s a known fact, if someone is happy most of the time, that person is either termed as being sad and lonely deep within, or he is judged to be a not so nice person. Stereotypes, I tell you!
But  why?
Why can someone not be happy all the time! Just because you wish to hold on to all those depressing memories and live a life regretting your actions or probably cursing god, doesn't mean the other person should follow suit!
Humans are a very very simple creation of god! All our actions, emotions, needs… Everything is based on our self-happiness and a desire to be in a powerful position or be an attention seeker. As they say, social boycott is probably the worst punishment, simply because we hate to stay unknown, or be unwanted, we fear being alone. We all crave for attention… And a sure shot way of receiving it is by being 'sad'.. It isn't empathy but sympathy that we all like.. We may not accept it, but if we take a minute and look inside ourselves, most of you would agree, if not openly, but surely behind closed doors, in your own company.
We humans are a unique species… Very easy to understand, yet we try to layer ourselves with complexities... It just makes us more desirable for others…Hence more attention.
Such is the human nature!
