RE: Thoughts On Happiness

in #philosophy7 years ago

In some perspective, it actually means that more is accomplished; it just does not feel like it because there is always something else to conquer. The key seems to be, to maintain the thirst for accomplishment (if that brings you completeness, if not eliminate it), while cultivating the understanding that in fact you are evolving and bettering yourself. This will lead to better perspective and acceptance toward ourselves, which I think is fundamental towards completeness (I don't like using happiness because that simply has an emotive connotation to it. We can be happy and still not be complete, so i think perhaps being complete is a higher aim and virtue.) As for the other questions, it's important to never lose that curiosity!

Sort:  

"We can be happy and still not be complete, so i think perhaps being complete is a higher aim and virtue. As for the other questions, it's important to never lose that curiosity!" This sums it up. I suppose that is part of finding the balance.

I tied in what you said about thinking about fundamental life questions and not being able to sleep some nights, into my next post (briefly). It's gonna be about knowledge.

I will keep an eye out for it! I had some inspo as well for allowing ourselves to be a work-in-progress. I appreciate the feedback :) thank you
