Interesting insight. |

Consider this: 92% of the worlds population feel that their lives could be better. What about you? |
|
I think so too, but I never really commented because I didn't have time...and I didn't really know what all to say, I didn't want to just say "cool" you know? |

Ignorant bliss is an oxymoron; but so is miserable truth.
I decided, after being inspired by a transexual preacher I saw on the Wisdom Cable television program, that certain things in life are just not worth worrying over. |

O'nus, I just want to say I really appreciate that post. |

Ah, reconditioning one's self to be happy with what one has, and with who one is. I agree with that to some extent, and disagree as well. Regardless, it's in our nature to always seek more than we have--to always yearn for just a little bit more. |
|
Each new day is a chance to turn it all around.
Yes, icedawg, I agree with what you said about self-improvement. I think it's important to have drive for improvement as well as contentment. The reason I just wish I could create everything myself is basically because it would be the easiest, most unlimited way to improvement. |

Acceptance of who we are and the realisation that we are not important is very diffcullt to deal with, but this is a step forward. To believe that you can not better yourself is a very self-important view. Something people can do without........ |

This reality is like a goldfish bowl. The dreamworld is the same, but larger. It's easy to get lost.

i feel my life could be better. to make it better i would seek more schooling... and rather than just do it (like high school) i want to be interested in it. i want to be knowledgeable (yes i know that's a relative term). i would want to be carefree, i don't want to worry about money. not in the way that i have an ass load of money, more in the way that i don't need money to survive. i want my own island, a place i call home, no taxes, no pressures... no politics... no religion, i never want to hear another word about some god that cant be proven. i don't want to have to choose my political affiliation. i don't want to maintain relationships with people i don't like, just so i can go out with them every other weekend and get drunk. i want to be carefree. i want one girl that i can spend the rest of my life with and not have to worry about what might or might not happen -- right now im in a trivial school where everything is so "dramatic" relationships... teachers... everything. but i still go 5 days a week, i go and i waste my life at this place. i have commitments, i have responsibilities, i have friends, i have family, i have a job, and i have a car that i cant keep running to save my soul. i don't want all that, i want simplicity. -- i try not to let the little stuff annoy me. being misunderstood does really piss me off though. i probably wont remember it but i still don't want to be seen as someone i'm not. |

clear eyes. strong hands.
the thing with worrying is that it is absolutely pointless. it is waste of mental energy which can be directed into to trying to solve the problem positively. we are always going to have problems, but it is how we deal with them that counts. when we make a decision, then that is final and there should be no regrets. regrets waste time. |

The bulk of the post is ment to give the message that self-improvement, these theories on developing a "perfect" character, and all of lifes other problems, are what makes our lives depressing if we give them that light. |

As Shakeaspeare also said: |
|
just because you want more, want to be better, deosnt mean we arent happy now as is...i only wish to improve myself...if we lose all desire to improve, we also lose all desire to continue living |
|
There's desiring to be a better person, and obsessing to become a better person, like a perfectionist or a depressive character. Both have come to the significant spectrum of desire for a better life and person. |
