A Happy/Unhappy Life It's almost two months since I last posted a notebook entry. I've recently been a bit too busy to study English sitting at my desk. I really miss the time to study like that. Maybe it would be better for things to go like this. (I doubt this sentence makes any sense. I meant it would be better for me to have no time to study English at the moment.) Although I've been so busy, it's ironic I've got plenty of time to think. Especially, I've thought about a happy or unhappy life. (I'm not talking about temporary emotions. Everybody sometimes gets sad. That's quite normal.) What's the difference? Some people say it doesn't depend on external things. I agree with them unless you are in an extreme situation, for example, you've being tortured physically or emotionally. I think I'll be unhappy as long as I think about what I haven't got. It will make me happy in the long run to find and try to love every tiny thing I've got or I see around myself. Anyway, it's horrible to see somebody has led an unhappy life all their life. It might be easy to make the people around you by leading a miserable life. It's really sad. - I would appreciate it if you would point out every mistake or unnatural expression. - I've recently been a bit busy, so I'm sorry if I mightn't log in soon again.

A Happy/Unhappy Life

It's almost two months since I last posted a notebook entry. I've recently been a bit too busy to study English, sitting at my desk. I really miss the time to study like that. Maybe it is better this way. 


Although I've been so busy, it's ironic that I've got plenty of time to think. In particular, I've been thinking about what makes a happy or unhappy life. What's the difference? Some people say it doesn't depend on external things. I agree with them, unless you are in an extreme situation, for example, you're being tortured physically or emotionally. I think I'll be unhappy as long as I think about what I haven't got. It will make me happy in the long run to find and to try to love every tiny thing I've got or what I see around myself.


Anyway, it's horrible to see that somebody has led an unhappy life all their life. It might be easy to burden the people around you by leading a miserable life. It's really sad. (Were you trying to say unhappy people infect others with their sadness?)

Well done.
