There's a time and place to be serious in certain situations for sure but throughout many aspects of life, it's important to enjoy the little things and be as happy as you can. Some people don't know how to be happy or think its some kind of weakness when in reality, they're just bitter people with nothing better to do.
Having fun doesn't always have to be being loose either, it's going about the journey and taking things in stride. Relax a little bit and get a perspective on what's possible. For me, it's my training where I can learn to do bad ass stuff and give whatever comes to mind a go. Doesn't matter if it's playing around with the Dopamineo Bands, messing with Thor Hammers or doing the Sapate, there's something cool to do and figure out what it can do for you.
Life is already hard for many and maybe the hard stuff is what makes them happy who knows but a lot just sink into this hole of because of how hard things get, that's all they know and being happy is some kind of luxury and wish it wasn't. Being happy in general is more of a mindset than anything but plenty fake being happy or think they need to act happy to protect an image or something. True happiness is an individual thing but I believe it's when despite the bullshit that goes on, there's a piece within us that can have the courage to smile genuinely and make the most out of it. That's just me but it may be different for somebody else. Some of my best moments of happiness is being with family or with the woman I love, other times are in my training sessions and just getting into it with passion. Like I said, it's an individual thing.
In certain cases, there are people who are envious of other people's happiness and are obsessed at what they have and weaponize it in order to suit their little pity parties. They even go as far as to rant about it constantly to an audience that really doesn't give a shit and will eventually die out because nobody wants to see someone bitch about another grown man for so long that it consumes what they're trying to promote. The trouble is, those people are just flat out bat shit crazy and think being happy and having fun is unmanly when in reality, they're just bitter souls with no hint of a life that means anything.
There is nothing wrong with being genuinely happy. Cheering on another person's success, them cheering you on, making a PR, laughing with the people you care about and making a living that keeps things flowing. That's just some of the things to be happy about. Taking things way too seriously too often can bite you in the ass whether intentionally or not and it's a choice to become something that will never be able to crawl out, or blast through the fucking walls and see things for what they are without punishing your own mental health and even physical well-being for it.
Taking certain things too seriously ages you and will devour anything that can be good and overcome aspects of adversity. I understand what that's like. I know what it's like to be bitter about things but these days, I laugh them off and some are just so damn ridiculous and to a point where it's just noise and isn't affecting my life. I get to enjoy things that I love and don't take them for granted. Hell, I get to go to places for my birthday this year that I've never been before and don't know what to expect. It's exciting man and get to do it with my partner in crime.
For real though, do what's possible to enjoy life as best as you can. This is the only life we have and it's important to not be so angry and overwhelmed with bitterness. Some are just so pissed off and blame others without taking responsibility for their own messed up situations or taking responsibility for their actions against people that want nothing to do with them. Their anger and obsessions are their own problems and using others as a shield of those problems will come back to haunt them. It's just a matter of time before they learn what others are truly capable of and realize they can't beat them and know that those who are truly happy can take things for what they are and win above all else while those who choose to rot in their own mind and body will continue to go down a black hole of misery and despair while slowly and painfully dying inside. Find happiness, it's better than the alternative.
