Re: [mylifeismine] Re: Which One is a Good/Bad Day?

Hi all! First time poster here.

Studies says that visualization/anticipation are more gratifying than attainment. Striving actively toward that which can conceivably be achieved, making 'progress' and being engaged in something 'meaningful' are also key. And gaining some kind of social cache - people to acknowledge that we have indeed slayed dragons - cause pleasure.

My buddha side that knows these factors to be 'illusion' isn't interested in such games. My biology/evolution says that I ignore the world of form at my own peril.

No surprise I am being forced to sell my half-mill condo in the heart of California paradise 'cause I wouldn't fight to keep it.

It's part of the world and I have (nearly) allowed myself to enjoy pride of ownership, nor to try to borrow 'esteem' by associating myself with what I owned/where I lived.

Yes, by money we can purchase the objects, things, facilities for entertainments, tools of happiness but real hapiness is still not sure either can get or not or may be in long term consequences will be more worest in some cases. So question is where is real good happiness and how to acheive it? Regards, Moje

One of the most important things in my life is happiness. It can't be bought, and no one can't take it away unless I let them.

It is about perspective but this is a good example to show that you
have to take the good with the bad, and most importantly you cannot
make assumptions on someones outlook in life just becuase of their
circumstance.

People can make assumptions of the two people described, but no-one
really knows if they are happy within themselves.

People with a healthy outlook would say the second person is having a
good day cause he is doing what he wants to do, it sounds so
comfortable to be able to work from home wearing your pj's - but you
don't know if this is what he really wants to do. The assumption is
he is working for home and that is great, but it may not be for him.

On the otherhand people might feel sorry for the man with the nice
suit as everything seems to be crashing around him - but perhaps this
doesn't concern him. I would of course be concerned in this
situation, but my point is that you really never know how a person
feels about their life.

All the money in the world can't prevent someone from feeling down,
so it is very wrong to assume that money will make problems
dissappear.
