we are caught up by our ability and availability of what life has to offer us, that we are spending way too much time thinking of what truly is best for us. Somehow it feels that we are always subjected and limited to a specific thought pattern, that even we ourselves are confoundedly pissed about.
In every awakening moment, we revisit the idea of “thinking less and doing more” but in actual fact we can never stop “thinking less”.
The greatest thing about us, humans, is our ability to think retrospectively. But, even that comes with a cost. Often thinking that we can do better next time if the similar situation situation repeats itself, and, but we end up spending too much time “trying to do better” that we lose our ability to be progressive.
I think this is more than just the cost of optimisation, but more of the cost of doing anything.
The question that is commonly asked in such situations is; what makes you happy? but true richest doesn’t just comes from happiness alone, it also comes from pain and suffering. For if there isn’t any suffering, you wouldn’t be able to derive a meaning to it.
How then?
