RE: Human Nature and Its Deeply Rooted Characteristic Features

in #philosophy7 years ago

This is super deep man. My 2 cents that is honestly on a more surface level:

I think the human characteristic, hence purpose is to simply be happy through passion.

Why? Because... it's a feeling and it feels good.

Anything less is kind of meh. Anything further down the other end of the spectrum feels like shit.

So... we just try to be happy even when we think about it or make sense out of it.

I must point though, that as humans, we only have each other.

We are a race, in one world. We have to interact with each other. We have to be with each other.

What are our characteristics? Undeniably, we shape one another.

Hope this makes sense. Thanks @juvyjabian

Yea right, it does. Perfection is not just possible and we seek for it, we will surely fall. When it comes to happiness, people are basing it to something. They will be happy if something they wanted is acquired but in the absence of it, happiness is out of reach.

For me, happiness is just a matter of choice. Choose happiness in every aspects of our lives and never expect things to be in the way we wanted it to be. If it does, thats great, and if not, no problem, life goes on.

True, but I frankly find that the "happiness is a choice" has turned into an industrial, overrated piece of jargon.

I can't really believe in that anymore for sometimes it's simply too hard and it'd be insensitive to tell that to anyone.

Like how could we tell a starving kid in Africa that happiness is a choice?

To be or not to be. It depends on the person to decide whether or not. I believe that everything has a reason, and for some reasons, we dont know.

That's the key. "we don't know."

But we just gotta try anyway I guess.
