D'autres printemps

Description

He who is not contented with what he has, would not be contented with what he would like to have. - Socrates.

Marcus Aurelius beautifully clarified; whoever values peace of mind and the health of the soul will live the best of all possible lives. Can you believe; centuries have passed and we are still seeking solutions and guidance of how to be contented and I feel; that's why we are feeling gloomy in between the sense of happiness. We want to be happy and that's why we are sad. It's really bizarre; people haven't found the eternal ways to be glad so we can feel happiness all the time but alongside, we have created an illusion in which we connect happiness with sadness that if we have happiness right now then one day we would have to face sadness too. Put differently, happiness usually comes with some reasons in our lives. We feel glad as soon as we achieve some reason and that reason brings more sadness when it falls off because nothing remains constant and once we were glad with having a cricket bat in our childhood but now we aren't happy with the entire cricket set. It means happiness was never there in the reason. If happiness feels lost or fades for some reason or in its absence then it wasn't there. Affirmative, that happiness was just an illusion and a classical conditioning of our lives, resulting in a habit that if someone gives us gifts then we should be happy.

If something is instantly fading as soon as we come home, it is illusionary. You don't find happiness. You live it wherever you go. If you really love painting then you would also be happy before, in the process and even after making it but right now tables have turned, as soon as our desires get accomplished, we move to other desires and that never ends.

Believe me, this is just a 15 Minutes Powerful Read but will transform your thoughts on true happiness forever. I have been living for years all alone, understanding my soul in solitude in perceiving how eternal happiness works and what true peace is. In past, I often get fascinated by happiness but learned with time that true and eternal happiness can't be achieved easily because it's too fascinating.

Happiness and freedom begin with a clear understanding of one principle. Some things are within our control, and some things are not. - Epictetus.
