In the worldly sense, happiness is the satisfaction of a person's needs. The needs of the body, ego, soul. And each of us begins our journey from childhood with a dream. Each of us, from early childhood, carries with us a complete set of conditions and standard templates about what happiness should be.
But as adults we find ourselves completely unhappy, tired, sad, suffering people. So what happened to our dream? Where are those ideals of a happy life? Why is it so difficult to find peace and quiet in the heart? To be filled with joy from life? Why did we come out of childhood so happy and were defeated by life?
And there are reasons for this! The fact is that each of us goes through life alone like an enchanted wanderer. A person is bewitched by life, its magic. And every day he is forced to drink this witchcraft potion of life. He is drunk, intoxicated by this poison and of course he does not see the road in front of him. He stumbles, falls, gets up and walks again. And so millions of people roam the world, colliding their foreheads with each other.
And the human problem is that he is not looking for a way out of this situation. And it’s not his fault. Because he does not know anyone who has found a way out of this series of losses and the resulting suffering. He himself only loses - health, freedom, time, love, friendship, trust. Around him, people live the same way. Therefore, pain, boredom, despair became the norm.
And if an understanding comes to you that you no longer want to live like this. If you are able to see all the bitterness of the current situation. And you have enough courage and patience to change and change the lifestyle that brought you to this dead end in life. Then you must immediately collect all your despair and pain, your grief and fear and say loudly to yourself at the top of your voice: "STOP"!
You must stop and look down on your life. Calmly, impartially, assess the current situation from the outside. And to see by your own example and the example of others that neither expensive things, nor respect, nor prosperity, work, pride, duty, trips abroad, fame, power have never made anyone happy.
You have to drop all this tinsel, all this pursuit of illusions, and begin to strive with all your might to become happy. To create conditions for life to develop and go to happiness in small steps. And then you will see that many of the false ideals that you have been chasing all your life will fall away on their own. And only what is really important will remain in your life.
Remember, the path begins with the first step, and may now you are broken, defeated, tired, in the chains of your unbearable living conditions and obligations. But never forget that you are great people! And each of your tears and each of your breaths are worth more than all the treasures of the world!
