Personal Narrative: Finding True Happiness

Improved Essays
I am a green dragon living lonely in a mountain by a small town.
I used to like looking down the town from the top of the mountain.
People living in the town were living simply.
They did not seem to have much stuff,
Sometime they weeped when people died, yet the most of the time, they helped each other and looked happy.
I started wondering what the true happiness is.
So one day, I left for a journey to find the happiness.

I flew over a couple mountains.
I skipped some lakes.
And I arrived an huge country called “Golden Country”
There were nice buildings.
People were wearing fancy dresses and suits.
It was huge huge shiny country.
After entering the country, I met a guy wearing a black suit with a golden tie
I asked him
“Is there true happiness
…show more content…
Please give me back the time I spent with you!!!”
Then she turned on the vehicle and ran away like a lightning.

I still continued my journey.

I flew over the ocean.
I flew over a couple islands.
And I arrived an island called “Meditation Island”
After I entering the island, I met a monk wearing purple cape.
I asked him
“Is there true happiness in this island?”
He smiled and answered
“Yes! Of course! Because you can have a spiritual awakening in this island. You are spirit, so you will never die.”
“If you get a spiritual awakening and immortal soul, is it the true happiness?”
“Yes! Of course! Dying is scary, right? So if you get an eternal life, you will be happy. Also we are serving to the god, so we are the most superior being. If you want happiness, live with us. You can be superior being as well”

“I am sorry, I am sometime afraid of dying, but I am not sure about being superior and immortal being is the true happiness … I need to go”
He gave me a look and told me
“Fine, but you should know that this choice may give you a bad luck later.”
He never smiled after that, but I said bye to him and left.

I kept flying.

I was tired, I was sleepy, I was

    Gisselle Pernett After going in for a routine checkup and expecting to have normal results, America Hernandez was being rushed to a hospital for a condition her doctors knew nothing about. It wasn’t until she was hospitalized that she was diagnosed with idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura, a rare condition that causes the immune system to mistakenly attack the platelets in her body. This condition prevents the blood in her body from clotting, and when this happens even the smallest cut can result in losing a lot of the blood her body needs. “I looked very pale, had almost no color in my face or lips, I had red dots all over my body that I later found out were called Patiki eye, it seemed like a rash at first, so I didn’t pay much attention…

    4. This stanza,written by Edward Taylor in the 17th century,from a part of his poem Upon a Spider Catching a Fly, states the moment when the devil "saw a pettish wasp" and is cautious if it because of "his sting". Taylor uses a metaphor using the wasp as one type of man that is a sinner but tries its best to be free from its sin, and the spider as the devil who spins threads of silk to catch its prey. In other words, a sinner has fallen upon the devils wrath but because the sinner is one who has God's Grace, its life is able to be spared whereas the fly, another representation of a man who is caught in the devils wrath, is one who is vulnerable and is devoured by evil.…

    This quote from Eric Weiner’s travel narrative, The Geography of Bliss, epitomizes an American perspective on thinking. Before his travels pursuing happiness, Weiner never had to consider what thinking did, or does, emotionally. Like many Americans, I find my perspective to be limited in that we Americans do not naturally consider how our thinking is affecting our own happiness. In his book, Weiner finds that other countries have views very contradictory to ours at home. Weiner even points out that, though our thinking vocabulary is strong, our happiness vocabulary is next to nil compared to other countries, like Thailand, which has multiple words for smiles.…
