Bigger than what it seems.

What is the meaning of bliss? The denotative meaning of it is to achieve perfect happiness, as to be oblivious of everything else. So, naturally, bliss becomes a matter of perspective; what brings you bliss? Engineering, specifically welding and fabrication, has been personified as such a masculine enigma, something that has no emotion or even passion involved in it. But the ancient Chinese philosopher once observed that if you love what you do, you’ll never work a day in your life. So if this it to be true, there is some sort of passion in every field, if the person has chosen what he or she truly loves to do. I am very fortunate to have my “thing” while I’m still in high school, welding. It is so hard to explain to those who cannot understand, so I figured it might be easier when my audience is not right in front of me. To others, it is simply sticking two pieces of metal together with some kind of heat, but it so much bigger than to me. For me, welding is bliss; simply because it is just me, with no pressure. When the welding flipped down, it gets very dark, and then a little light appears, this is where complete bliss happens. I can feel myself performing the act, therefore I know it is in fact me doing it, but my hands and the rest of my body seem so disconnected from what I am witnessing, that it’s like I am watching a movie where I am the lead actor in this film, it’s fascinating. So, in conclusion, everybody has that one thing that they are destined to do, and although mine may be unorthodox, it is mine.
