Life's Logic.....The Contradiction.
I was thinking all of today that I Never posted my philosophy on life......EVER. I actually have it written down.....It's 10 pages. I'll try to condense it down to a short, coherent journal post.
First, I want to start with the heart. I believe that in order to gain and keep happiness going in life, you need to open it. Open it to all emotions, fear, love, sadness, happiness, etc. By letting the heart become expose to such a plethora of feelings, the ones desired will be more appreciated when conflicted with opposing emotions. Basically, you have to feel pain in order to appreciate joy. That's a summary of the first major point.
Next, there is the mind. The mind needs to be open. open to all thoughts and philosophies. Being able to look at both sides of the coin. Being open to all religions, you may not agree, but I feel It's good to understand another person beliefs. so see where they're coming from, help understand their upbringing. The mind also needs to be opened up to the beauty of it's surroundings.....the sky, trees, passing clouds......I feel that all thing around should be absorbed and appreciated. Take some time to stop and smell the roses.
Last, is control. I feel that every person is in control of their own fate. Fate is something humans created to explain why things happen without expaination. I'm not going too big into it, because i dont feel like it. I feel that we are the ones that control what happens in our lives. God may have a plan, but the Bible shows more than enough evidence to prove this. If you want something to happen, don't leave it up to destiny. Take grasp of it......but fate also can't be disproven. Maybe fate willed whatever I've done with my life.....I don't think its the case....maybe fate is the final decider of things......Lets take love. Two people have worked to become close. They have both willed this to be so, but fate declines.....maybe its both? ....see what I said about an open mind?
These are my major points...I may add more to it later. I'm going to master some new mantra.
