From Happiness To Love - Tumblr Posts

This is SUCH a great documentary for learning Namjoon's thought processes and philosophy. Especially starting at about 10 minutes, it switches to a collection of Namjoon's quotes about his experiences, struggles and motivations. I loved it because it focused less on what was happening externally and more on his internal world.

"When making any observations, I tend to look at both the light and shadows. It's part of my disposition. So even when I reminisce on happy moments, memories of hardships always tag along. I'd think about a time and remember how hard it was backstage or recall what it was like after returning to the hotel.

Since they always come as a pair, when I talk about an impression, it's hard for me to simply say, "I was so happy." In reality, it's not always like that. Then, is the problem with me? I don't think so. I think the problem has to do with that very question about whether we are happy. I want us to be able to ask ourselves more specific questions. Instead of asking a question like, "Am I happy in this moment?" I'd prefer questions like, "Do I love this moment?"

What a phenomenal insight.
