This will also pass...

Is happiness desirable ? What about sadness ? Which is better..

Every emotion seeks to move human beings from an equilibrium state to the extremes. Once a pendulum moves to one end, it gains potential energy and hence has to go back to the mean position eventually. This does not require any effort what so-ever by us. It will happen in due course of time in nature..

So, taking life with the principle of " This will also pass " will help us tide both happiness and sadness with equanimity and grace..

JOKE : What will happen if a teacher applies this principle while correcting the answer papers of his students.. Ans : No one will fail. Every student will pass !!!
