Fear of Feeling Happy

You might not feel this always but it happens. In the midst of happy moments and when everything is going great for you, you suddenly start anticipating something unpleasant. You won’t find any real reason for this feeling. Cherophobia! It is very common in movies to show an accident or some tragedy after few scenes with lots of laughter or a happy song. In fact, we almost always predict it. You might have seen elders pray to God to keep the family away from sorrow throughout the day when the day begins with few good things. Why is this fear? Those who relate happiness with unproductively  or distraction may feel fear because it would lead to mistakes and failures. Maybe, though we always wanted to be happy, we intuitively know that life is designed to be a mix of all and so we naturally expect something unexpected to happen. Anyway, the moment you suspect your happiness, you are sure to lose it.
