The issue with limited vocabulary we have to label our emotions and feelings. We have two words, at most, to describe majority of things that we feel throughout our day: happy and un-happy/sad. The hard black and white categorization. Everything is reduced to either the hedonistic pursuit of happy-ness or dreadful "un-happiness". Only recently have I noticed that how this is wrong on so many levels. In today's world we have emphasised on "being happy" above everything. We want to be happy when we are doing anything. If we are not so, there is something wrong with the thing that we are doing. We start doubting that it is probably not the right thing for us. Without realizing that happiness is just another temporary feeling that we can have without any specific reason among the multitudes of other emotions and feelings that we have through out the day. We don't have enough labels for all the grey portion of the spectrum of emotions or may be, we are just not present enough to label them…
