Life is beautiful.
What makes it so? Living up to the ideals we set..
how do we form these ideals and notions of what/how we want our life to be?
Experiences mostly.. and for the impressionable few, media and peer groups etc.
So we mostly live to satisfy a want that is, at its very essence, a 'created one'.
Very man made..
How then can we quantify whether we're truly living life the desirable way?
Happiness is a good quantifier i hear you say...
Who among us though, is truly happy..
Note, this isn't the the kind of happiness derived from materials acquisitions.
For those of you that fall under the above mentioned category, get a life.. seriously.. Like go right now..
For the ones that equate happiness with a state of mind and being, a state of no worries or problems, welcome to the unending pursuit of happiness.
You will go through a series of life changes in your pursuit for the ultimate state of bliss..
Cutting out dependency on material possessions so as to not get chained down to anything..
Cutting out dependency on other people, people are known to offload their own set of problems on to you thus weighing your own baggage down..
Cutting out dependency of every sin mentioned in the great seven.
Thereafter you will achieve an ultimate state of nirvana..
Upon which, you'll realized that you've already been hard-coded by years of societal living.. You can never escape dependency on other people or of emotions.. damn that lust.. You can never escape dependency on gadgets. Computers, internet, music players..
We're doomed to an existence of mediocrity. Wherein we want the perfect happy existence but cannot move our fate even an inch from its destined path inorder to get it..
What is the point then.. What is the point of our existence when we know that will never, READ:NEVER, be completely free of problems.. Or do we want to regurgitate some random psychotic nonsense about excepting the good with the bad., a life without sorrows being bland and how we need problems to keep us sane and thinking.. people almost fear a life of only happiness.. seems to good to be true..
What about heaven then? won't you get bored there? won't you never be challenged by any problem, that was supposed to see you rising above it through strength and becoming a better person for it? OR does heaven provide an endless supply of dopamine to keep you numb and marinating in memories of your past life forever..
Deep down, I live in hope of a time where problems cease.. where I'll be happy all day long.. where I'll give up material possessions, friends and my past life..
I just hope at this time, my friends manage to drag me into a rehab in time..
Signing out.
