You're happy buying gifts, you're joyous decorating the tree, you're giggling as you go through old pictures of Christmas past. Yet as you hear Christmas carols, you feel a tinge in the heart as you remember spouses, children, parents or siblings who've departed the earthly life, or as you reminisce about soured relationships or friendships.
It's bitter sweet.
It's like cracking open a green mango with your bare teeth, and tasting its sourness yet you love its crunchiness.
It's like reaching the end of a marathon and feeling your legs no more but ecstatic at seeing your finish time.
For mothers, it's like that last painful push in the delivery room and hearing the baby's first cry.
Ask a one- year old how s/he feels and s/he'd give you a blank stare; but carry him/her in your arms and s/he'd smile or hug you back.
Actors are portrayed as having two faces, half sad, and half smiling. It connotes versatility in acting, being able to switch to and from different roles.
Happy people give easy smiles to everyone, and encourage friendships and openness. Those who present a dour disposition sink deeper into their holes of despair and give a flashing sign to others that they should be avoided.
