many of my posts have been regarding the concepts of love, happiness, and all those intangible whatnots...my literary narrative class is so enlightening...so every monday and wednesday i find something else to say....here's today's string of thoughts...
the ultimate question...
what provides happiness?
love?
when my teacher asked kids in class what made them happy...most expressed the material things in their lives...which is understandable. we are bodies. that is our physical orientation. but its gotta go beyond that...and the scary idea to contemplate is that you could have everything...materialistic, spiritual...and you would never completely be satisfied. because you have a certain level of happiness that can be reached...and once you reach it, you want even more...it seems to be plaguing our generation.
it boils down to the fact that you live life by doing. you can accept or reject things because of enormous/immense experiences you've had. and you'll realize that you need to get out. life causes you to reasses and you learn that "it is good to taste for yourself everything you need to know." this runs parallel with the concept 'dont knock it till you've tried it'.
my teacher also brought up the idea games of any type have become our lives. they are all we have. the highpoint of the week. it is only a game yet it is the most meaningful part. how can 'game' be our lives? my life would be pitiful if it was only a game...
how would you like to be a game piece?
"...but i was as helpless as chess piece when i was lifted up by someone's hand..."
how would the world be if you had to take a test before you became a human being...
suffering is potential. is it meaningless? human nature belives that it must be avoided and escaped. there is physical and worldly suffering. i was reminded today that i have no idea what that kind of suffering is like. i am merely a prisoner of my own thoughts.
yet...suffering...no one is making you.
give me the magic drug doc.
