My story so far

“The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.” – Bertrand Russell.

I am like the slave at the moment … I don’t see myself for what I am … and the things that time, fate and death take away are the ones I value the most and the ones which I am constantly striving to save and add to (this body, family, friends, relationships, money, …)

Slavery is the opposite of freedom ... hence the opposite of happiness.

"Successes and failures are chosen by me" - Luck By Chance

Success and failure are defined by me ... depending on what I want them to be. Happiness and pain are chosen by me in the same way.

I can be happy that I have the best of friends and family or I could choose to be sad that I don't have those friends talking to me all the time. I can choose to think I am successful because I have a good-paying decent job or I could crib that I am not the richest man in the world.

Aim high but shouldn't let that interfere in the way of me being happy. Aims and expectations are two very different things. In aims efforts matter as much as the final goal while in expectations most/all of the importance is given to the goal itself. This sours the whole "process" and leads to unhappiness irrespective of whether the goal is achieved or not.

Success and failure are a matter of perspective. I apply my perspective for everything and everyone else. For every situation. In my every reaction. If only I could remove those perspectives and apply them to success and failure that would be perfect. Of course this will be an aim and not an expectation!

The world as perceived by me is but a mirage. It is not the whole truth, not even close to the whole truth. It cannot be because it is limited by my perceptions and my prejudices.

Same applies to relationships, people, situations ... Isn't that unbelievable! I have never seen/felt the complete truth so far. Such a tragedy!

Let me now open my eyes! Let me free myself of prejudices and biases! Let me see things the way they are! Let me take in and feel the world around me. Let me enjoy that moment ... the world ... the people in it ... the relationships ... and the situations!

What is truth?
What is freedom?
Do they make me happy?
Do they last?

Where is truth?
Where is freedom?
Is it here? Is it now?
Or just a memory of the past?

Truth sets me frees
Freedom brings happiness
Together they both
Help me find what's lost.
