Philosophical contemplative ramblings...lol
Why does happiness always come at a price? You can be happy because of something or someone, but when that thing is taken away or that person leaves, you're screwed all over again. Does it seem like a huge waste of time? Can we take anything out of it but the misery at the end?
And why is it that no matter how hard you try, you can never be completely and truly happy all on your own? You can feel like you're happy, but you never know what you were missing until you have someone in your life again who makes you happy...
I guess we were all meant to be with other people and those people are there to help contribute to our happines...but why the hell can't we manage it on our own? Is there no such thing as true independence?
Maybe it's thru all these people that come and go that we can learn all the secrets of happiness. And by the time our lives are nearing the end we will have collected all the pieces and completed the puzzle...but isn't that a bit late? Doesn't that make the rest of our lives a waste of time? It's all just building up to a few short moments of true and utter independent happiness before we slip away from this world...
So then life is a constant battle of ups and downs...meeting people, loving them, depending on them and then watching them walk out of your life... picking up the pieces, standing tall, crazy gluing your heart back together over and over...and getting up another day to continue the battle.
Does it seem pointless to continue when you know it's almost certain that you'll be hurt in some way? Of course it's pointless if we focus on the hurt and the pain...we completely miss the entire lesson, the precious knowledge, the tiny piece of the puzzle that will lead us to our happiness at the end. Every heartbreak has a lesson to teach us and the more we focus on that, the less we seem to hurt. They say "beauty is in the eye of the beholder" but everything is in the eye of the beholder...it's all in how you see it and what you make of it. Everything is in our hands...every situation has multiple outcomes and it's totally and completely up to us.
Life has the potential to be so beautiful, it's sad that so many people can't see that...they miss the point...it's all up to them...
