We often spend our lives searching for something. Most of us have no clue what we are looking. And some even call it happiness. The idea of having a bliss, a high which will never leave, self sustaining even, is rather charming, but who among us has not had this dream. We all seek different avenues to try and attain it. Some look to career, some look to companionship, and some look to religion.
The paths we choose are determined by a gamut of events which occur through out our lives. Some big and life altering ones, while some are just simply there as if they have no where else to go. The people who steer and the people who row, both play an important role. I suppose one would not do without the other. But let us examine this more closely. Where is the person who stirs taking us? Are the rowers rowing fast enough? Where are we heading with all of this? and isn't life really in our own hands?
While we ponder through this, can't we conclude that a large portion of our of our lives is not in our control? If so, what is it that we choose? and what is it that we have to flow through?
I guess there is no simple answers to all these questions but there are a lot of theories floating around. My personal favorite is simply enjoy everything. Its hedonistic to say the least but lets leave our ideals aside for a minute. Isn't personal pleasure a path to happiness? Don't we spread happiness if we are happy from within? and enjoying everything is the most simplistic way of looking at it. Its not about satisfying oneself, nor about giving into your every need. I don't think life gives you anything that you want. All I say is that want what you have and little some more. There are so many ways of looking at everything and each event can be a source of entertainment and I believe that once you recall an event, no matter how painful it was at that time, with a little bit of mirth, it shows acceptance and moving on.
I guess there is humor in everything. Sometimes, we just forget to see it...
