Its a pity. you know - about how people sulk, get worked up, are miserable, frustrated, angry at people, loose hope, because they are unable to lay hold on or let go off what I call dispensable like I always say. There are things/people that are important but not indispensable but because people are boxed up with so many things on their minds like plurality of life's multifarious demands, they're out of place to be able to really place these things and value them. like is this really worth my time? my energy? my life? or my worry or tears? Will my inability to acquire or achieve this as a person or human being stop me from living (remember in my previous post I defined life as a state of being in existence for the purpose of discovering, assuming , persevering and developing the specific features and traits assign by reality, creating value(from this unique features) required for the effective functionality of other organisms and species and trading it with them in order to ensure the continuity of the system in healthy and optimal state of functionality for the sustenance of his life and guarantee of his happiness) And you little wonder why the world is in chaotic race on a circle spot. Everyone is busy. busy doing what? busy loosing beautiful memories, busy soiling reputation, busy abandoning families and beautiful relationship, busy worrying over frivolities, busy! I love my pastor's quote that says, activity is the killer of sensitivity. And that's a major challenge in today's world especially life in the city. If only we knew better
Now lemme set it to perspective. The questions is not: what will make me to be happy the question is what is stopping me from being happy. You already have all you need to be happy if you follow reality's design so the questions of why am I not happy which is trying to find out what is obstructing the natural flow because like I said earlier you should be happy instead of asking what will make me happy meaning that its within your reach, its external and needs to be gotten. So what is stopping you from been happy can only be two things
when you are not being who nature designed you to be: there will create a vacuum in your soul which only when you look within your soul you will find and fill it by returning back to being you just like the discomfort experienced in putting on an oversize shoe irrespective of the design and beauty the agony of slacked and having to drag your feet along with it is demoralizing or the pain experienced in putting on an undersized shoe the beauty or design is of no essence but the pain the person wearing it is what is the main thing still people are yet to understand my advocating the virtue of selfishness who are you wearing show for is it not yourself? but you are hurting inside just to wear it for another for anyother purpose i careless about solong its against your interest as the shoe keeps hurting you
Another reason is because you are greedy: you are demanding and pegging your happiness to wants instead of needs and like mahmad ghandi would say, the world is sufficient for mans needs not for his greed. So when greed comes in people become insatiable and you know what because of greed some people are denied of what they need. I think at this point there is a need to different between need and want. Needs metaphysically are those things, be they people, activities or things without which you cannot live in the sense of which I highlighted earlier. So your life to be sustained and achieve happiness can't be possible without your meeting your needs but wants are excesses: their absence can't stop you from living, and their presence can make you end hurriedly and hazardously or even completely sway you from actually living.
In today's world people get sick, worried, wanting to commit suicide, depressed or hurt other people because they don't have a car, because they don't own a house, because they don't have millions, because they are yet to achieve what their mates have, because they are yet to be married, because they have no children because they have no certificate because they have no lover and all sort of frivolities and you can't believe the extent people can go which clearly reveals their sense of value showing in how they priorities and value things outside the definite designed value standard of reality's system. Independence is a virtue you develop when you identify your indispensables and know that your happiness doesn't exist outside them and that they are at your disposal
Now the question is one? What is the ultimate moral purpose of mans life and existence? like what was he created and manifested in the universe to achieve? now does my inability to acquire or achieve the things (i seek which am yet to have or had but lost) stop me from achieving the ultimate purpose if yes how? A very sincere and careful answer to these questions will help you filter these desires and weight them correctly to determine their true essence and worth in your life
Mans ultimate purpose in existence is to achieve happiness but happiness is only possible when he focuses his mind to understand the nature of the universe he finds himself, understand his unique nature as an individual, assumes that his individuality, preserves it because of the tender state of the uniqueness, develops it, creates value from it, trade it with other species and organism for more values so that everyone including himself will reach optimal functionality which is what guarantees and sustained the universal system functionality in a healthy and optimal state. Understanding and approaching life that way helps him to know that happiness is not extrinsic but intrinsic, that he has to be him and define the values that help him to remain him, develop his uniqueness and create values which others need to function optimally for the purpose of the system continuity. If he does this he understand that need is a term to show or determine or decide for what purpose and if it doesn't align or facilitate or aid this purpose, then its of no value to you and you can as well do away with it.
Mans indispensable values which he must uphold with utmost importance are esteem, knowledge purpose.
Esteem which helps him believe in himself and trust his mind to guide him right especially in discovering and identifying his uniqueness as an individual and that that uniqueness is what reality's systems optimal and healthy functionality cannot be achieved without. this first indispensable will determine the people or course or job or activities or places or religion he chooses to be with, in or practice because his self esteem is crucial to the sustenance of his life and guarantee of his happiness. He knows who to love and who loves him, he by this determines and chooses who his friends and family are. It may interest you that I cut off some relationships, I resigned my job and did away with so many things because it was affecting my esteem i didn't need them even though before i let myself loose, i was scared of if could cope without them. i later realized fear was false evidence appearing real
Knowledge which he get via reason after revelation, feelings, intuition etc is crucial because it is the light that direct his decision and actions. knowledge helps him discern and distinguish what he needs from what he wants, knowledge tells him what is in the interest of his esteem and what is against it. it tells him where to get what he needs and how to avoid the negative. it tells him what to do and how to do with what he needs so that purpose is achieved. so because of guidance and direction, he values knowledge and chooses friends, family, falls in love, chooses a course, attend programs, decides which company to seek employment with, the church to attend, where to live etc based on that which increases his knowledge and understanding of the universe and himself because with that knowledge he can know what are his indispensable
Purpose- for the ultimate purpose nature has set him to seek to achieve on which his happiness is maximized, he can only choose those things: people, courses, programs, etc that will help him achieve the purpose. He wants to sustain his life and achieve maximum happiness that's why his focus is on the purpose of discovering, assuming, preserving, developing, creating value, trading it for more value so that other organisms and species that all makes up the system function optimally for reality's system to achieve continuity in a healthy and optimal state of functionality. Therefore anything which he looses or if he doesn't have that cannot stop him from achieving that purpose, my dear is not needed and is not an indispensable
So the assignment, what are the things which you are craving for but can actually do without because they don't subtract from or add up for your esteem or to your wisdom and knowledge about reality and don't affect the purpose which I states earlier and make necessary adjustments.
You are supposed to - you deserve to be happy; just make sure you keep hold of your indispensables thank you
