DESTINCTION AMONG THREE TERMS
(destiny, happiness and love)

God gave us freewill, freedom to do whatever we want, whether good or bad. And as a result of freewill, destiny takes place. Yup, destiny is not found in fortune teller’s crystal ball. But destiny is in our decisions. Yup! Without freewill, destiny is just a mere word, I even thought that without freewill, could the word destiny exist? Perhaps yes but maybe of a different meaning. Nobody knows. Destiny is often related to happiness and happiness is often associated with love.
But isn’t it more appropriate to say that love is associated with freewill? Since love is a choice, it is in your hands if you will use your freewill to love that person or rather use your freewill to reject that person and prefer to make friends with him.
For me, destiny does not necessarily lead to happiness. Everyday in our lives is a destiny, and everyday in our lives is not always happy. Sometimes we suffer from our wrong decisions and we are sad. But if we have accepted our consequences, then that is the time we get contented and so we get happy, despite of all the disgrace. Destiny is in our daily lives and is the result of our freewill. Happiness on the other hand is still destiny, happiness occur not because of destiny but happiness happens when we reached the state of contentment in our lives. It is destiny but it takes several steps to prove that destiny is happiness. So therefore happiness can be achieved through hardwork and acceptance. But it is still rightful to say that happiness is destiny. Next is love. Love is often associated with happiness. Partly yes and partly no, because if love is happiness, why are there still people who cry for love. I guess, this is because of the saying “nothing is permanent in this world”. Feelings fade especially when the love is passionate. This is the time when destiny hurts people and destiny is not happiness. It is really hard to explain these things because everything can change. This one can disprove this one. But still, this is my opinion. But this very sad situation can still lead us to happiness. Remember? Destiny can be happiness but it would take a few steps to achieve that happiness and that is through acceptance and hardwork. And also nothing is permanent in this world, hurts also fade.
So there may be distinction among the three words but they are still closely related. Love can be happiness and happiness can be destiny. Maybe we just need to remember that everything in this world is a matter of choice. You can still be happy with your failure if you choose to.
