Hygge


"Complete absence of anything annoying, irritating or emotionally overwhelming, and the presence of pleasure from comforting, gentle and soothing things"

Hygge is a Danish word, or rather a Danish culture. Often, it is a condition or a situation that we want and enjoy the most, alas it is seldom to achieve. The connotation of a 'hygge' is hard to obtain, a subtle idea when it comes to living in a fast-paced changing world.

Thus, for such reason, in my opinion, 'hygge' is equal to the "promising heaven". The conditions which suit the meaning of 'hygge' is so foreign to our keen sense. 

It claws right into your heart, but the meaning itself is just too inconceivable, in a rusted world,

by which 'hyyge' is forever lost

And this worldly life is not but diversion and amusement. And indeed, the home of the Hereafter - that is the [eternal] life, if only they knew.

[Al-Ankabut, 29 : 64]
