Has anyone really learned anything from all this?
Posted , 5 users are following.
i have been reading some interesting books the last few days and its making me think. We all know for a fact we all get a set amount of time in this lifetime. Right? We all know we are filled with fear, for various reasons some we know and some we dont. But we are living fearful lives..right? Why? I get the malfunction, i get embalances and i get processing disorders of all sorts.. But has anyone stopped to think what the heck we are doing to ourselves or why? Was our expectations off? Are we trapped in the "unfair" trap? Maybe this is a learnig experience of some sort. I have no clue. But im trying to wake myself up and see that this is just a set amount of time we are to experience life to its fullest and this isnt it. Some say they have a fear of death and thats what drives it. How is that possible? Living in fear and pain and self sabatoge and torture would never be the opposite of fearing death..is it? I dont have that fear so i dont know. we were all somewhere before we were born so i dont know what to even be afraid of in that regard. I do fear suffering, experienced it long enough to fear that. But i cant figure out what we are all doing and why we except this fearful life sentence as real, as a way of life. If someone came to you and said you have x years to live..would you spend it being so scared? Thats the reality of all this. Its so odd to me. Is it really out of our control to enjoy life? I dont think so. I dont. I dont have the answer here but life is what we make it, thats for sure so i want to how to wake uo already and live and see the world and embrace its beauty. The mind is not an organ, its intangible, cant xray it or mri it so someone help me understand what world we have created and why. And more importantly why dont we wake up and see maybe this is a choice somehow. I dont know. I want to hear people thoughts on this.

There are still times in my life now that I will get caught up in my emotions but I'm not trying to fight it, yes, initially I get frustrated or sad or whatever, but it's life you know? Crap happens and when it does, you only hurt yourself and others by staying in the past because life waits for no one. We make do with what we have because that's all we can do. While we don't have control over what happens to us (mostly), we have all the control over what we do about it and possibly have a say in what happens next. It's not to say we can't regret certain things or get caught up because we all do, even the strongest of us, like break ups or a family death or maybe your career isn't going the way you want it or maybe your life dream can never be realized, there's absolutely nothing wrong with hating life at that moment or wishing you did things different, just don't let yourself get caught up and do nothing about it. Always make the effort to move on. Like you said, we have time limits, don't waste it unneccesarily.
