Life is all about Happiness and not about Hardship
Yeah!!! Amen to that! None of us are trying to pursue hardship, not me anyway. We pursue only happiness in our physical life. However, the universe has the way of throwing hardships into our path Now.. I personally believe that these hardships are not bad. These are just ways for us to open our eyes and to learn from them.. We learn about true love, strength, courage, real friendship, loyalty, and appreciation .....all of our existence through those hardships. Can happiness be appreciated w/o those hardships? |
What an interesting thread!

Life is about the Journey to Self and how hardship can either make or break us, it's about the resilience and strength of the human Spirit to endure and turn those hurts into halos. Locking onto the happiness and locking out the power of hardships to help shape us in so many ways and bring out a better developed self... You have to deal with that in your fashion, after all it's only you that has to Live in your own skin. But it's only from hardship that we can experience true empathy, sympathy and a few more things. Not only do you lock out the hardships you lock out everything that the hardship was there to give you, and much of what it can give you can be of service to others as well as ourselves. Those emotional theorists and neuroscientists would probably agree that expressing even 'negative' emotions in a more productive way would provide more beneficial effects. The dark is the dark because people run away from it instead of shining their Light there. |
Great! Follow your heart!
There is no fixed path. Our choice is itself the way. 🙏🏼 |

Except I confess 'chemicals' (alcohol and pot in my case) have been a very useful way of my (my cellulary? established attitude) getting 'out' of established 'survival-grind' patterns. As in the case of everything else, they can be a 'a double edged sword,' however. I recommend they be used wisely/resolutely/consciously - that, of course, means not as a 'means' of 'escape' which is a 'runaway' (and 'jump of a cliff') leaning! |

Rich, poor or otherwise, we will all experience some form of happiness and hardship in our lives. This is controlled by the law of karma; we reap what we sow.We can never escape from this reality using human means.
Instead of pursuing happiness, should we instead, let go of our human attachments? Without attachments, we are always at peace and all hardships would become insignificant. |

Letting go of 'attachments' = not 'clinging' (to any 'idea') = super-duper free FLOW of the Love and Joy river of LIFE = wisdom indeed!
Woohoo, River-of-Life Swimming-Fishies and Spirit-of-Being Flying-Birdies! :biggrin: |
Be it happiness or hardship, perhaps what matters is how we define it and how we look at it.
If our attention is external, our evaluation is based on material transience. On the other hand, if the fulcrum of our consciousness is internalised, there is no evaluation, only nonchalant witness-like observation. For example, suppose we wonder why the ‘evil’ prosper and the righteous suffer, leaving aside the judgmental aspect of evil vs good from the external level, let us view it internally ... Our learning is as what we need for evolution. This means that those who erroneously seek happiness in the ephemeral are provided accordingly until they self-realise the futility of doing so. Likewise, those who have already learnt this lesson may be given a harder life to erase residual contaminants of the ego and to refine the sensibilities, besides settling karmic debt. The evaluation of destiny is based upon soul evolution, not momentary pleasure or pain. With this understanding and acceptance we may then let go of attachments in as much as we are able. With divine assistance. Such are my views on this enigma of life ... |
