... what is the secret of your happiness?
Happyness has come to seem very overrated to me. It seems another catch in the dualistic world view. If one could get over being sad they will be happy. How can a supposed love for a partner sometimes turn to hate? How can two groups wanting the best for their Nation be so opposed as the political left and right? Something seems amiss with such duality to me.
This pairing of our world into shared dualistic paradigms seems balanced from the subjectivity of the ego; which itself is somewhat of an illusion. We seem trained to it from the subject-object pattern of our language filtering everything through the binary view of the ego.
Imagine how different a world would be if instead of, "I drank the water" that "The water was drunk".
Developing compassion, seeking truth, being there for my loved ones and finding some degree of contentment are my main goals. Any of them and happyness are not mutually inclusive by my way of thinking. ✌
