thinking about thinking
We had quite an interesting conversation this morning.
We were talking about happyness, and contentment. Which are intertwined i guess, but very seperate. You can be content with where you are...and at the same time not be content with the idea of staying there. Makes sense?
And the human brain is always trying to figure things out...find the underlying message or answer. But a lot of the time we try so hard to find the answers to questions which (a) doesn't matter (b) can't ever be fully realised, or (c) has far too many possible answers, meaning you will probably just choose one which suits you the best...not meaning it is at all right. Perhaps the world isnt all that black and white in anyway. Not only are there grey areas, as many would suggest, but I would say there is a whole friggin rainbow, and everything in between.
Much in this world stands unexplained. And a lot of things that have been explained...I very much doubt the answers are right . The human brain is actually very limited. For example, humans have been trying to explain how this world came about since we could see the stars. They came up with the big bang. Utter crap. What was there before that? How did it get there? The failure to process this line of thought , I think, comes mainly from trying to INSIST that it had to start somewhere, and must eventually end somewhere. Why?
And don't get me started on evolution! Insisting that everything is a huge accident that happened to work. Everything in existance is so massively complicated that it had to have been planned. Look at cities. They are relatively complex systems, they took one crapload of planning, and yet are far more basic than a single cell!
I believe to be happy, you need to find it in yourself. Scientifically proven to be a choice, rather than something you stumble upon.It largely means not to get too caught up in all the trivial little things that go on every single day.
