Some of the best feelings in the world

It's like that sublime emotion. That feeling which comes and stays but for a fleeting moment and leaves you mesmerized and longing for more. It happens when you're least expecting it. May not coincide with the greatest achievements in your life. But when it appears for that evanescent instance nonetheless, it leaves you feeling like you're on top of the world and life couldn't be better.

It's often very hard to equate these feelings with material pleasure. You can't buy that emotion for the world. Some of these feelings may just come from doing something that you wouldn't usually do.

Ever woken up at the end of the night to see the moon shining its full glory, even as daylight edges in stealthily? It's the diurnal inflexion point of sorts. A time when it's neither this nor that, and yet there's both. And even as you watch on, daylight creeps in adamantly, forcing the majestic moon to surrender in subjugation.

Ever understood someone completely? It's that feeling which tells you that you're in complete harmony with the other person, that you can understand his every emotion and almost read his mind. That's the perfect sync.

Ever been to the top of a hill or a mountain only to see the world in a new perspective? To realize that only if you rise above the confusion and chaos at the lower rungs, there's calm and serenity at the upper echelons. It's that feeling of getting the big picture. Of seeing everything from a different vantage point. It's when you get that Eureka feeling of disillusionment, of having the muddled clouds in your mind clear out forever. It's difficult to describe, but it's as beautiful as it is indescribable.

You can't exchange these emotions for anything in life. And it's as difficult to feel this way of your own volition. It's probably serendipity. Random occurrences-sporadic distributions of ecstatic elation on the fabric of your life.....
