In childhood we used to be naturally happy/ we had the tingling sensation of life, as we grew up we sought the Kick from outside ( Addictions/Drugs/ Alcohol/ Bone Breaking Adventures/ Significant Other/ Earning Top Dollar/KIds) & also tried keeping up with the joneses (damn those joneses – they keep on getting better at everything)
Harmony is what we seek next – we can’t leave the stuff we accumulated- we hold on to it rather than it holding on to us & simultaneously try all the latest fads … including reading such posts. But do not let down our own expectations; basically in this phase we are trying to be James Bond (at least I am)
No instant redemption
Then we find that the world’s happiest human is a meditator
By such time we have overworked our mind & it is unwilling to try the simplest of new stuff
Then we give up to the higher intelligence & lo & behold … life is simpler … we realise much is not in our hands & whatever there is just do your best… GRIM to GRIN
