It seems to me as a means of survival or even just comfort that people will for the most part act in service for themselves. I say the most part because there are always exceptions, but generally even some of the most noble of actions tend to have some kind of service to the ego. Hence the challenge to try and transcend in a way the codes of ( Read more... )

I d like to think that the search for happiness is pointless, it didn't go anywhere its always been here its just under alot of rubble.

We are no longer willing to take responsibility for what we have given up to material worth and possessions and I think this is because people assume they know to much about everyone elses need for happiness (or selfishness as some would put it) but really know very little.

To search for anything seems silly when as humans we are hardly easy to ignore by anything else on this planet, and even if it were possible to be ignored I think we must remember that the sum of it is we are never alone, we are responsible for our own sorrow and or happiness and anything and everything we claim to need or own is nothing important really and certainly not ours to determine as ours without some sort of price or purchase. Which, to me removes the chance for freedom even more anyway.

I trully like people to be happy and know how (I think) to accomplish this however I am not happy and certainly not capable of acheiving happiness as long as my selflessness continues.

What structure am I meant to undo without (as I am only human) destroying relationships and foundations not wrought on my own or by my own hand. How is this constructive when its seems inevitable that bettering yourself is simply going to piss somebody off. For example the drug dealer friend who wants you to be better but would never suggest the obvious as it would detract from thier own betterment as it were (I hope betterment is a word, but hey I don't care lol).

Or the example given as a cry for help seen as a little opening up, that is shot down as a personal stab when read but really its just a personal wound when written.

Some sweet souls out there are not even aware of the choosing or choice phenomenon and would happily foolishly beleive the wisdom of others only to find they are stepping stones in someone elses fight for happiness. Some of us still beleive that as long as we can make everyone else happy we will be rewarded somehow. Bullshit.
