The different realms of the human mind is something that can fascinate anyone. Its complexity is a pure awe to one and all. I'm implying this on the terms that there can be so many interpretations of one single aspect, in the mind of just one individual.
Now the questions I have in mind involves the most important objective of life, the key of life if you may - Happiness. People can have different interpretations of happiness. In my mind it self, there are different realms to this essential key of life. Does happiness lay is how rich you are? Not just economically, how rich you are with company, how rich you are with compassion, how rich you are with education, knowledge? Does happiness lay in spreading happiness to others? Or does none of his matter as we ourselves control how happy we are?
I recently came to figure out that the idea of complete happiness does not exist. Its all a balancing act between the positives and negatives. The scale keeps tilting to either side at all times. Too much happiness, then some invisible force that I call fate (others call god) will lay more weights on the sadness side and vise versa. Also, its really difficult to achieve a balance. And that's what we all strive for over a lifetime. I recently visited an old age home and I notice there that there are a select few of among the aged that looked happy. While most of the rest seemed to be depressed. Now there could be multiple reasons why, but I am beginning to think that the ones who were happy were the ones who were able to strike a balance.
Could this be it. Our aim in life. To strike a balance between the positives and negatives that will somehow satisfy us and lead to happiness, the essential key or life? Yet again... my complex mind has multiple answers to that. See what I mean!
