Are you fulfilled in life? What do you require to be fulfilled?
    #23675473 - 09/24/16 11:02 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

What things do you want to do or accomplish before you die?  Do you feel that you must do any of those things?

I wish I had more freinds for one thing, as I get older I see that things are much easier with other people. The last two years I've pretty much said goodbye to people not worth having in my life, all that remains is my parents and my girlfreind.

None. I've done everything I want given the time I've had here, and done my best, so I'm ready to go at any time.

Every extra day is just a bonus really.

Let it be seen that you are nothing. And in knowing that you are nothing... there is nothing to lose, there is nothing to gain. What can happen to you? Something can happen to the body, but it will either heal or it won't. What's the big deal? Let life knock you to bits. Let life take you apart. Let life destroy you. It will only destroy what you are not.

Honestly, I couldn't tell you right now mainly because I'm too young to think about those things, but my goal right now is to get admission into university, from then on it's just take life as it comes my way.

Why is university the answer?

Money isn't = happiness.

Serving an institution or organization isn't = happiness.

For me, exploring reality / shamanism is the answer.

I have firsthand experience of both of the above, and wholeheartedly agree.

How would you define happiness as a feeling?  I ask because acquiring more money might give one a sense of reward, which some might interpret as a form of happiness.

For no reason do I want to go to university for money or to serve an institution; rather my own benefit of doing something I like doing, and I'm setting goals for myself too, now no harm in that is there?

I don't think he implied there was harm in it, just a suggestion to double check if you're sure it's really right for you. I've been on that path the last 12 years, and have been very successful, but am now looking for a way out of it asap because it's become something that grates upon my very soul.

If it's what you truly want sure there's no harm. Like if you want to help others in some industry, and enjoy yourself doing it, no harm... but will even that provide you happiness?

Maybe find happiness first then just give it away to others.

University, work, all just means, generally to money, that doesn't really do a whole lot unless you're happy first. Holidays are great for instance but if your brain isn't happy, it ain't no holiday, it's a chore with martinis.
