RE: Four things about life I learned from Money Heist
For me, happiness is about #freedom, and more particularly, freedom from suffering.
Sometimes the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of money or the pursuit of anything, can actually cause more suffering than it relieves, but I also think it is natural to pursue those things, especially when we are young.
Yes Chris, that's right. Many people have everything in life, and yet they are still imprisoned by something else, which makes their lives "unhappy"
Sometimes I think recieving or accomplishing everything is an actual prison, and a prison in 2 ways:
There is nothing left to receive or accomplish since everything has already been received and accomplished. This can be very uncomfortable for a person that spent their life pursuing everything, and/or enjoyed receiving more (at least at first).
For many, it took hardship and sacrifice to receive and accomplish "everything" so in some cases, it's possible to receive and/or get everything and even more than that (hardship and mental strife too).
I can relate to both #1 and #2 but I also think it is the epitome of success. Reaching the end of the road and then no longer needing to go anywhere new.
Going new places might happen, but there's no real need for it. Things just run their course and it runs exactly as it should 😀
