We’re all here from distinguished descendents. We have our own woes and eases. Some just come here to have mere jollies. Some take things emphasizing way. Some even don\' have any attention what’s going on.
Expressions differ man to man. But, we’re stupid enough to be stupid. Why are we so discontent? I ponder’! I did again and again. Consequently I turn’ into foolish. I came to have no answer. Still things are absolutely tougher than tough.
It’s like ignoring the parents because of our own interest, loving the creatures than the Creator. Will of the wisp! Any doubt?
Why are we so discontent?
I have this same writing (the paradox of our time) in the self – expression section but I think it can be repeated here for the sack of discussion.
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings, but shorter tempers; wider freeways, but narrower viewpoints; we spend more, but have less; we buy more, but enjoy it less.
We have bigger houses and smaller families; more conveniences, but less time; we have more degrees, but less sense; more knowledge but less judgment; more experts, but more problems; more medicine, but less wellness.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We\'ve learned how to make a living, but not a life; we\'ve added years to life, not life to years.
We\'ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbour. We\'ve conquered outer space, but not inner space; we\'ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul; we\'ve split the atom, but not our prejudice.
We have higher incomes, but lower morals; we\'ve become long on quantity, but short on quality.
These are the times of tall men, and short character; steep profits, and shallow relationships.
These are the times of world peace, but domestic warfare; more leisure, but less fun; more kinds of food, but less nutrition.
These are days of two incomes, but more divorce; of fancier houses, but broken homes.
It is a time when there is much in the show window and nothing in the stockroom; a time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete.
But why?
Most of us don’t know where is our self-actualisation; what are our priorities? And what is our purpose?
We think there is only two way of doing things namely right way or wrong way; but its just a view; it just the way of seeing things. There is no such a thing RIGHT or WRONG. So we go by our instinct.
Instinct is a animalistic character and we are also a animal but the things that make us different from other animal is our consciousness but now a days we don’t left any. Lets provide an example of consciousness and instinct: some one is sinking in the wave of river and trying to survive is an instinct (survival is an instinct) but a person jumps into the river to save him even he knows he might die is consciousness. The person who jumped in the river had an instinct but he overcome that one by his consciousness. And that’s the different between human and animal.
But how does our consciousness develop?
Our consciousness develops by our identity (basic sense of self), by the set of beliefs (ideas that we think true) etc but we don’t have an identity or belief so we don’t have any consciousness. And why don’t we have any belief? Because we think there is no such thing right or wrong. As you can see it’s a chain. BUT ALL THIS THING COONECT TO ONE PLACE; THE DEEPEST LEVEL: SPIRITUALITY (WHY ARE WE HERE? WHAT IS OUR PURPOSE?) And since we are disconnected from our spirituality that’s why we are so discontent.
Thats my view. What is your view on it Mr. Profound Man ?
The Doors,
Your outlook really appealing and I just wanna wish you good luck!
well....i wouldnt say we r totally disconnected from spirituality
cuz a lot of the times i feel content about having something.
and since my god says \'be happy with whatever u have\'..or \'the more u have, the more calculations u will have to go through in the day of judgement\' ...i think i am mostly ok with whatever i have and i do feel content about a lot of stuff..
Do we eat to live or live to eat?
