ETERNAL MOMENTS



An Eternal Moment
    Eternal, an adjective used to describe a matter which does not change, as it transcends time. Moment, a noun which represents a brief period. Once you read this phrase, all of you might notice that these two words cannot stick together. One word is for a permanent time, while the other is for an instant in time, showing a great contradiction. This phrase, an eternal moment, is what I seek the most nowadays.
    It all started from the day I deeply thought about what happiness is and how happiness comes to life. People think that happiness is valuable only since sorrow also exists; that happiness is precious only if it does not stay permanently. However, I could not agree with this statement for some reason. Even if happiness came to my side, I was full of insecurity that I would lose the current emotion, which I longed to keep forever. This tendency led me to fail to sympathize with the previous sentence about how people generally talk about happiness and its worth.
    Taking photos or videos might be one way for people to maintain moments eternally. During a trip with a loved one, people box their memories inside the film: memories might consist of sights or emotions. Though, I think this only helps to recall and reminiscence, rather than pertaining to the feeling at that time. Pondering what actions I have made when I've felt happiness, I came up with one question.
    Why should ‘happiness’ be trapped in the framework of ‘momentary’?
Even if happiness cannot last forever, I wish joy could stand by me longer and warmly and let me feel more loved. Wanting to erase all other thoughts covering up happiness, I hope I can confirm the integrity of uncertain love towards me. Until the day I escape from this endless pain surrounded by countless emotions - anger, surprise, fear, disgust, and sadness - I guess my journey to answer this question will never end.
