What do we need?
Is it the coffee in the morning, the passion we explore, our talents we sharpen, the people we love, delicious food from our mothers, relaxation or hard work?
Love, desire, happiness?
Where do we find that. And what do we do with it. Why can‘t it last, once it is there. Why do we need to sail towards new destinations time and time again. Isn‘t there a predestined way to find the good in the world?
Why is it so hard to stay happy? There are too many ways which bring joy but only last one moment, some others will bring joy and last hours, but the things which give meaning to us are not something to be found easily.
There is no treasure map explaining what one needs. Philosophers remain to ask themselves what really makes humans happy, but so far there has not been an answer to this question. People try and motivate more than ever, and the receivers find joy and motivation. It will stay as long as you keep pushing.
Hard work and discipline is something every young adult should learn, but is a healthy body, acquired knowledge and daily habits really the key to happiness? A healthy body makes a healthy mind, knowledge forms opinions, and daily habits keep you moving, but what is missing in this apparent self-love? To that the answer is blurry and unclear, it remains on the path which will bring us closer to the end. Some might say the neverending attempt to find fulfilment and meaning in life is where to find essence. Others find it in overcoming suffering, and some just don‘t give a f.
Maybe it is the wave we ride what we believe is the key for this particular moment. Maybe the key is to find enjoyment in whatever it is we are doing, but being mindful about it.
We should make other people’s happiness our own happiness. Accept the unfair fate life somtimes gives to you. Take what you get.
It is not about the circumstances people find themselves in but rather how they act in those certain situations.
So how do we know what we need.
The answer is near, we cannot know. We want to know but i think there truly are some things which can never be found. People have used religion for these questions, but since humanity kind of abolished that and tries to explain everything, even that where no answer has yet to be found, the need to answer unaswerable questions has become a curse and blessing. By never stopping to try fulfiling oneself, but also by trying to find an answer where there might not even be the right question.
