I think the title sums it up. I mean, is your life perfect by the very definition of the word.
Just trying to see if the universe is rigged to keep us frustrated and unsatisfied permanently regardless of what we have and have achieved.
I want to find a way out of it. I currently believe detachment is the secret.
But I find that state of mind very hard to maintain, almost impossible.
| No | 11 | |
| Not yet | 3 | |
| No, but i'm fine with it. | 10 | |
| Yes | 6 |
The universe isn't rigged, but it's possible for people to rig their own mindset to interpret everything as "never good enough"
No, I will be continuing to learn, grow and self develop all the way up to my death. I'm a student of the universe and a C+ one at best
No, but I'm fine with it. I have what I need and then some. I have a lot of my wants met. Yet there is still much more I get to achieve in my time here. Try to practice gratitude more.
ah the hopeful one. The 'not yet' option is more appropriate to you.
Also it's very interesting that I attracted another member with 'curious' in their username. What a coincidence right! But I don't think it's a coincidence, I think it's the algorithm of the matrix delivering to me what is already within me.
I have all that I can handle at the time. Humans do not have an infinite ability to handle more in life.
I've certainly had a great life so far; and despite my long covid issues I still see a lot more great things ahead of me. It's never about what you cannot do because on an issue. It's all about what you can do even with that issue.
Is it correct if I interpret your response as that you're unsatisfied with your life but you're good at handling it?
No, what I meant is that my life is not perfect, but it's not bad. Just average, which I'm fine with.
Also I don't think the word 'average' mean anything here because life is a subjective experience and there's nothing to compare it with.
So you're saying that you're satisfied with your life the way it is? Then why do you not want to regard it as a perfect life? I would.
Are you forgetting that we are two different people?
Yes, I might be fine with my life, but that doesn't make my life "perfect". What you're saying is that in order to be satisfied with life, it needs to be perfect. That's not true. It just doesn't need to be bad, which it's not. But nothing really special happens either. That is why I won't call it "perfect".
I think to have it all means being ok with having nothing. If you think the next object, job, relationship, bank account, pet, house etc will make you complete then you're just never going to be happy. It will never end. Having it all means having everything you need to survive and be content, inside you. No object, person or situation needed to prop you up or get you through.
Yes, I have it all.
"The only true freedom is freedom from the heart's desire, and the only true happiness this way lies."
A life with no motivations and desires. Is it even a life?
What is freedom for when you have no desires?
It's actually just a quote from a THE THE song. Although I do think when people are basically run by their desires it's like a form of addiction, or enslavement. People can be motivated by more than just their more base desires.
Basic or not, you can't have a motivation with no desire. That quote is good for people who are too tired/scared of suffering that they're ready to give up living life and settle for a mere existence.
Because that's what a person with no desires is. An existence. Not a buzzing piece of life.
Why, do you think I'm wrong about something here? Because if you do, then you should be able to point it out easily. Just telling people to go study something shows that you don't know what you're talking about but want to appear superior regardless. It's a lame trait. Get it fixed if you care about being liked by people.
Also I know enough about Buddhism because I'm an actual Buddhist from a Buddhist country.
So you're on your way to a perfect life, right? Then why didn't you vote for 'not yet' option?
