It is rightly said that happiness is a state of mind. No matter what happens to us, we can still choose happiness over pain. If the whole thing confuses you or you have any doubts regarding this, take a cue from this elated Afghan boy who is dancing his way out through the pain, hatred, and violence.
Wearing a traditional blue Payraan and smile, the child is seen dancing with joy at an International Red Cross orthopedic center after the doctor treated him and provided a new prosthetic leg. According to the reports, the kid named Ahmad lost his limb in an explosion in the Logar region of Afghanistan. Needless to say, he is not the only one who is a victim of landmine explosions in the war-torn areas of the country.
The viral video garnered about 855 views and was retweeted 10,000 times.

While Twitteratis are praising him for his innocence and his ability to find joy in time of crisis, shouldn’t we also implement this in our lives and make happiness, peace and acceptance the new normal again in time of chaos?
Vow,and sometimes we forget the real problems of real people dealing with them on a daily basis. Nothing compares to this happiness and suffering too. So happy for the young man. Bless him and may he stay happy forever.
