The Pursuit of Happyness

The Pursuit of Happyness is a movie, a true story, based on Chris Gardner.
That "y" in happyness is because we want people to think about what makes "you" happy, what's the source of your happiness. - Chris Gardner

The movie is about the struggle one goes through in life to fulfill ones dreams. But you can only relate to it if you've ever gone through one of those phases in life..

Ever had dreams to achieve something? Aim..Ambition..Aspiration (little as it may be, important to you)
Ever had to struggled for it?
Ever prayed...desperately?
Did you hold on to that little bit of hope...wanting a better tomorrow?
With each passing day, did the dream seem to slip away from your hand and fall to the ground?
And as more days passed by did you feel its not only on the ground but someone mercilessly trampled on it?
Ever felt the loss?
Ever cried bitterly in total helplessness?
Ever wondered ..complained.. questioned...lived the misery?
Ever ever sat, totally blank, without any movement just tears rolling down ?
Ever looked up at the sky and longed for a miracle?
Ever reached a point thinking your dream might turn out to be your worst nightmare and feared you might fail...but tried hard to push the negative thoughts out of your head?

And when you fought your fears to find a better day, when the dark clouds suddenly vanished, the joy you didn't know how to express with a sudden sense of peace within...
You know you survived.

The Y is more likely to represent "why"... Dont you just hate when you constantly have to struggle for happiness. Why does it have to be you. When the desperation is at a all time high instead of pursuing happiness you end up trying to answer Y me, when some of the other have all the luck? Y is the world cruel only on you?
So how do I bring the "I" in happiness am not sure... but am sure only I can bring the I back in happiness.

Well, I dont understand "why" competely, but I know for sure it not only you. Everyone is fighting their own battle, in someway or the other. Nobody was born with all the luck. Things happen to teach you something you havent yet learnt. What exactly that is I am not sure. Whether I have learnt it..I dont know. But I do know that I am not alone, there are people to support me and be there for me till the end.
