RE: Self-Help Breakdown...

in #selfhelp7 years ago

My question is: Why should we always be motivated? Why do we always have to be happy? Where in the manual of our lives does it say that we cannot feel unhappiness, sadness, unwillingness? I doubt that our ancestors knew or read about self-help and many of them lived almost one hundred healthy and happy years. Nor have I seen that children have to be taught self-help classes because they laugh, they embrace, they are happy. We adults are the ones who problematize everyone, the ones who are unhappy even because of the weather. It has been in our time when everything is taken for a profit and some have seen how to make money by playing with the feelings of others. I believe in the power of words, of hugs, but that's chemistry, that's another thing. It seems ironic that in this age when there is more knowledge of self-knowledge, there is more suicide. People have to learn to love each other, to accept each other, but you don't learn that in a manual or in a weekend workshop. That's an activity with yourself on a daily basis. It's always good to read to you, @rok-sivante!
