"Peace is the faucet from which the fountain of happiness emerges."
I have always asked and probed externally and within myself what makes people happy. I have asked myself what makes me happy.
Fortunately or unfortunately, human life is replete with contradictions. Nature or the invisible piper of Einstein or the GOD of the rest of humanity has left so many gaps in our understanding that we will probably never be able to answer them and reach a cerebral understanding of 'why things are the way they are?'
I was looking for happiness and I have found peace.
I am not struggling with all of unanswered questions anymore. I know that they will not be answered. There are powers which control the sun, the beaches, the rivers, the entire constellation of planets and galaxies and here we are, thinking that we are the ones who dictate the course of our lives.
Albert Einstein would have known when he said:
"I do not at all believe in human freedom in the philosophical sense…. Schopenhauer’s saying, ‘A man can do what he wants, but not will what he wants,’ has been a very real inspiration to me since my youth; it has been a continual consolation in the face of life’s hardships, my own and others’, and an unfailing wellspring of tolerance. This realization mercifully mitigates the easily paralyzing sense of responsibility and prevents us from taking ourselves and other people too seriously; it is conducive to a view of life which, in part, gives humor its due."
I have been studying the functioning of human mind and also the circumstances surrounding them for myself and people who are close to me for the last year and half.
I, for one, am convinced that my decisions or choices have been influenced else where do my thoughts and desires emerged from? Why did I face the kind of experiences I have?
I do not understand and I have no answers. I know know that nothing else could have been. I could not have thought differently or acted differently and similarly neither could have you.
Accept. Enjoy :)
