Do you all have a place that makes your heart full, where there is unbridled joy, where you are your absolute self, without any pretense, and makeup. The last two days I was in mine.
This was the place where many years ago, as a confused young boy, hurting from a stinging defeat in life, aching from the loss of my mom, I found true meaning in life! Did I find life's meaning? Okay, that is too much to ask for! In any case, I found Joy and some contentment.
It used to be my workplace many years ago! Imagine the place you want to be, being your workplace? Ain't that fun?
Well, dreamy me moved on from there! Leaving my heart and soul and everything else there.
Dreams are made of sterner stuff I presume, for it pulled me out of the comfortable, happy, and the contented world I had lived in. Perhaps, once I stop dreaming, I will go back there and just hope and pray that the place will welcome me like they welcomed me yesterday.
So what makes that place create that flutter in my heart, I asked myself! Here is me digging for answers.
Is that a flawless place?
No definitely not. It is flawed, as flawed as any other place is. Perhaps even more so than the various other places of work I had been in.
Do they do pathbreaking work?
I suppose they do? But so do many other organizations. Does pathbreaking meaningful work contribute to the happiness my heart warrants? Perhaps so; One box ticked.
Perhaps these are personal preferences! Perhaps there isn't a perfectly happy place and I'm just emotionally attached to a place. Perhaps looking for reasons for one man's happiness and trying to replicate that is foolhardy. Perhaps, one human's happiness is another's sorrow.
Yet the truth remains that there is a workplace on this hated earth, which gave me happiness like no other! For that I'm truly eternally grateful!
This is what I had written about it then.
