And now after reading everyone’s comments I have decided that it is all a matter of perception.

You lost me completely there. What balance? How did it traverse from perception to balance finding?

I meant to say balance of my own confusion. Since I put this post up to know what I could make of it, in the end I was left confused so I decided that I’d go with the perception thing.

I have learnt not take anything at face value – including what Murakami writes 🙂 Happiness comes in different forms of course, but the way we perceive it is often one-sided, unlike pain and misfortune.

Thank Prajakta, that is actually what I was thinking. I mean of course it comes in different forms, but the way of perception matters a lot.

I wasn’t sure how to put up my view on that coz i was thinking that if you have posted this so u must have given a lot of thought which might be flashing in your head and then this song came up in my mind and that’s exactly concluded what i wanted to say that happiness lies in every bit u just have to look for it as for u asking your mom some que about that mythological series😊 i guess happiness lies over there too

I think happiness do come in all different forms, just that we don’t categories them, maybe we’re enjoying that happy moments? So, it’s doesn’t matter that what’s the shapes and sizes… While for misfortune and pain, those are so hurtful, then we started to categories them. So that, we’ll feel better if it is not so serious?
