there was a sying that after one such extremely happy experience one must prepare onself for something strangely bad usually follows. now, i ask myself when i get to be happy, should i brace myself worrying about the next bad storm coming? do you think it's fair that after one exhilarating life is a bad harrowing death?

Interesting topic.
Perhaps the major factor is all this is: our perception ...
For instance, a person who has stayed long in adverse condition will find almost anything different as a good change.
Also for instance, an extremely rich man with lots of comfort may find a 3-star hotel unbearable; a poor person would perceive the same as an exciting place :)
Personally, I choose to be simple most of the time; to stay in a life seeking just to improve my ability to do.

you are rightof course.
our choices made our perceptions.
i have made a lot of liberating choices and though most have me extremely happy. the other few times i wonder, what's next.
