There is no happiness; there are only moments of happiness. But unhappiness tends to last longer.
Fisherman's moments of happiness
All experienced fisherman will know that you can't catch a big fish when the tide is low so it is unlikely to find the moments of happiness during low tide.
When the tide is too high, the sea is too rough and the wind is too strong; fishermen may find moments of happiness; but unhappiness may also be near. There is high chance that the strong under-water current will soon sweep your line away and get caught by under-water obstacles and break your line and made you sad.
The best time to find happiness is when the sea is calm, water is steady and many fishes will come; then happiness may be near.
The Moral of the story
Low tide can't bring happiness. To have moments of happiness, we have learn to to avoid low tide. Low tide symbolises lacking. We can't really find happiness when we are lacking.
Common example of lacking:
- Lacking in money
- Lacking in health
- Lacking in love
- Lacking in family bonding
- Lacking in friendship
- Lacking in companionship
- Lacking in free time for leisure
When we are too highly leverages we will be like fishing for happiness in high tide, rough sea and strong wind; it may also break us down. When it is broken; unhappiness will last much longer and harder to repair.
When you are debt-free, your mind is calm and steady; you are ever ready to catch many moments of happiness as they are nearer like fishes will come when the sea is calm and steady.
I think I better stick with ikan bilis or kuning. This fish too giant for me! (Photoshop or real?)
