The old saying which has been brought into disrepute as a result of being entitled upon a mediocre film. That does not however take away from the veracity of it.
Sitting alone in a distant land, doing nothing, pondering and worrying about the future, longing for home, and at the same time eager to find that place of eternal joy and fulfillment in life, it is natural to connect to the Internet and start Orkutting or browsing people's blogs - and then the realization dawns - that the World is not against you and that you are not the victim of some wicked conspiracy - (wow ! Just realized I tend to write much more fluently if I let it flow rather than go for well-thought constructions) - anyway, you realize that everyone wants the same things in life - joy, achievement, love, home and is struggling in his/her own way through difficult times in that particular quest. Kind of makes you ashamed of yourself for brooding over less serious problems when you read some of what people are going through - also makes you realize that there is no shame in being uncertain, groping about and insecure and also in admitting it openly.
Back to that good old (non)movie title - the happinesses and sorrows of the World flip-flop more frequently than I thought - I imagined it would be a period of a few weeks or months - but the more I think of it - it can vary every half an hour or so - because after all, so much of it depends on what you choose it to be. Like those other eternal truths, beauty and trouble they too lie in the eyes of the beholder.
