How sad. I can, with much certainty, attest to the belief that goals left by the wayside produce no happiness, such as writing a personal blog. It's been more than twenty days since I have had something to say, or the time to say it. Needless to explain to anyone reading, I'm a terrible juggler, although that truth has never prevented me from trying to accomplish five or ten things at one time. Atleast there is somewhere in the range of 3 to 13 minutes of happiness in the news today; nothing like studies such as these to make us all feel more normal.
A Deeper Understanding of Truth
Switching gears a little bit. A friend of mine asked me a very basic question the other day and the thoughts/answer that came to me struck a nerve. His question: the gift of free agency, what is it?. A basic question, from a religious/philosophical standpoint, something I have studied and discussed much; in fact, you may have already chosen your answer. However, I do my best to ignore the given, the expected, the accepted, the status quo of the mind.
There Are So Many Ways To Answer
An inspired man plainly said, "I want the liberty of thinking and believing as I please." Of course, the easiest answer is the one which requires no liberty of thought. It's the search for the answer, the search enlarges the mind and provides some of the most fulfilling kind of happiness.
