I’m honestly not sure if that’s the general truth, in my particular case, from my particular experience. There have been tImes when I felt truly happy with what I had and where I was. I think the mindset of seeing a lack of possibility is what makes people unhappy - but who knows...
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
It's much more complicated than what I wrote, I'm just generalizing to prove a point. Relative to your initial question:
So everyone, will have a different perception and experience. But to elaborate...
When you're used to something, truly or not (that's up to the individual to decide), it makes you happy and it is good. Then if you see something that is different but don't actually experience it, you may think that it's better than what you have. Just because it's different. Or because it appears that the people experiencing it, must be enjoying it because they're doing it.
In conclusion to my:
Both are true, one are true or none are true, it depends on the individual. It's almost a riddle.
I get this too. If you live within your means, and beyond or at least up to your capabilities, then you should be happy.
(ps. everywhere I'm writing "you" it means the proverbial "you" referring to people in general.)
Yeah, I feel like I can fully agree. Especially with:
Having enough but not too much, fulfilling your potential and having a sense of emotional security seems to me like a fairly good recipe for an alright life. But again, as you said, people are way more complicated than just that.
