Secret War Journal[6 December 2012]
There comes a time when,
making other people happy leaves you with a bitter sweet smile.
When you feel that, at the back of your head, you wish that the person feeling happy could be you instead.
Times like this, you wonder why you would want to help other pursue their happiness.
Times like this, you just want to be selfish like the others and strive for your own happiness.
That well may be a dangerous thought.
Remember the times when seeing someone smile makes you smile too? The times when your deeds allowed another to be cheer up and you felt comforted?
Why has that feeling become so cold? Why do I no longer feel the warmth of happiness when I help others? Am I numb to happiness?
Perhaps, I had turned cold.
