The feeling from the past

People often find that some places make them feel comfortable and some places uncomfortable. It is actually our physical side of our brain affecting us. But all the same, that's why one always like things that give them feeling about being home, about family. It's just the same for people you know.

Patriotic is actually born from this feeling. One is patriotic for one's country because you were born in it, you live in it and you love it. Now where does that love come from? Because your country gives you a feeling of comfort. You get used to your surroundings, you grow up in such a place, therefore you will have certain feelings for it. It gives you a feeling of comfortableness which you can't find a real reason.

Once I read a book that tells a story about a cook who is determined to make those who taste his food feel happy and contented. In his life, he conduct many experiments and researches before he found out the reason: Food that reminds someone of his happy memories will make one happy. A billionaire who used to catch fishes in sea with his father may love the taste of seaweed while a successful businessman who used to be a beggar may be touched by the taste of a steaming bowl of porridge with some slices of ginger.

In life, I have always encounter things which make me feel happy and contented, although I may only realize the reason after that. It happens when I saw little kids running around at mid autumn festival excitedly with their lanterns, or when members of a uniform team are marching round the marching court, students preparing their debate speech notes and many more. One may say that it is crucial to keep moving onward and never look back, but these pleasant memories of the past will always make you smile widely in your future.

Sometimes I feel happy with some people I barely know for several days and after that I will realize the way that person talks may be similar to someone I like or the type of people I used to mingle with. Sometimes I like some food so much although I just get to try it, and realize after that it's because it reminds me of some food I used to eat a lot when I was small. Sometimes when I see a place which resembles somewhere I miss I couldn't stop feeling happy. The feeling is so wonderful, that it can change your mood instantly although you may just encounter problems before.

I feel very grateful for these happy feelings from the past, which continue to cheer me up and give me courage to live. Although I am involved in new tasks, living in a new place and meeting new people everyday, I will always find some tasks, some places and some people that make me happy.

Don't be sad in life whatever you encounter, happiness may be just around you. =D
