Daily Prompt: Happily Ever After

“And they lived happily ever after.” Think about this line for a few minutes.Are you living happily ever after?If not, what will take for you to get there?

“And they lived happily ever after.” This line is so familiar in fairy tales. In real life there are a lot of obstacles, one must encounter to live happily ever after. Human nature is very complex, when  they have all the wealth they need and then some, they are not happy, they wish they had more.This wish takes away the pleasure to live happily.

A man with enough money to meet his daily existence seems happier than the one who has too much. Too much or too little money is always a problem.

I am contented to have enough  to maintain my daily life. I will not say I haven’t struggled I did right after my dad passed away. But we learned to deal with it because of my mother’s belief, that this will pass one day.

Money is not the only thing which makes one unhappy, kids can also be the source of unhappiness, if we can  have patience to bear it, this might pass too, although in some cases it doesn’t .

Looking at myself I’ll say I have weathered the storms in my life. I am thankful to God for helping me overcome them.

365 Writing Prompts: Red pill, blue pill

If you could get all the nutrition you needed in a day with a pill –no worrying about what to eat, no food preparation–would you do it?

No I do not like the idea of substituting a pill for real food. There is a satisfaction of knowing, I know what ingredients I’m using to cook my food. Preparing food is not a chore for me I enjoy cooking , buying groceries, visiting a number of stores to get what I want. It is sheer pleasure for me.

As regards the pill I have my reservations, it was not that long ago a lot of people were excited with the idea of using a sugar substitute, now with research they’ve discovered it’s not that good after all,it’s a risk for cancer.

My belief is sugar is the real thing, if too much consumption of it can lead to diabetes or heart trouble, tooth decay, it’s better to give it up altogether rather than using a substitute.

I remember one of my classmates used a substitute for sugar in her tea, but had huge serving of dessert. I pointed out to her she wasn’t helping her body but exposing it too much sugar anyway and also by taking a sugar substitute she is taking a risk.

I do not believe in any pill to reduce my work. I’m in favor of real food.
