Confetti is little shiny plastic flakes that we through around at a celebration. Why we throw it at these moments of jubilation is inquisitive to the nature of happiness occurring at any moment of our lives. First look at the nature of celebrations themselves, they are not events that happen every day, they are often spaced few and far between. So to symbolize this sparse nature we scatter to the sky, up to the heavens where dreams reside, confetti, and simply watch as it glitters and slowly fall down out of sight to be trampled upon on the ground. These sparse glimmers are moments of happiness. We spend our whole lives seeking to find these moments we know exist because we see it everywhere. It shines off of so many people you see each day that are happy and like the sun shimmers in front of you the hopes of ascertaining that light. Yet when you reach out to grab it as it floats through the air, you can only grasp a few in anyone snatch. Yet those few shine so little when in the palm of your hand and worse you find that they are made of plastic, nothing of real value. And it falls so thick at times it fills your vision and you can no longer quite see where you are going, blinded by the innumerable plastic hopes that give you a reason to keep looking.
