Back At Hyeeun School: The Happiest People

It has been ages since I hadn’t visited Hyeeun school. Finally, after a long break, I went to visit the place. The place was busy as usual, and not a single thing changed. It was as if time had stopped since the last time I visited Hyeeun school. As usual, I went to my assigned room, met my partner, and got on the bus to go hiking. I just blended it in, and everything just flowed. My partner treated me as usual showing no sign of extra delight in seeing me. Just like this, my days at Hyeeun school began.

We went to the same mountain that we have always hiked. I memorized the route by hear, so did the other 200 people from the school. I felt irritated that I had to hike this mountain. There is one thing we can’t get used to: pain and tiredness of walking. Also, I had all sorts of things mangling in my mind: AP quizzes, homework, World Geography essay. I was drowning from my own thoughts. I wondered,’ How come the students never complain?”. I’ve got my answer from their faces. They did not complain because they had nothing to complain about. They were enjoying this moment. They had no worries. They did not see the pain inside it, but the joy. All these years we’ve been convinced that we are better than them, but are we happier? Didn’t being the ‘superior’ being make us only see the pain inside things? Living in this society, I might not be able to always see the joy in things because the world doesn’t not work that way. However, at least I’ll be able to know the happiest people on this earth.
