I think happiness is overvalue. All
the people want to be laughing and smiling all the time. If people see you
serious or pensive they think you have a bad day. There is the irrational idea
that happiness is the right way to live or the most important life’s goal. I
think the real happiness is related with the pleasure of accept and living the
bad times intensely without putting things between you and the suffering.
I don’t know if there exists something
or someone that makes me happy I’m not looking for it. But certainly there are short
events or practices that make me feel really good. Probably the most effective
would be the sport. I train everyday (with the exception of Sundays) in my gym.
Although I prefer practice sports in Green areas, gym works to me. I love to exercise
my body because when I’m doing it I feel really connect with me. When I train I’m
alone with myself, there are not intermediary between my body and I. Also, I
like the interactions with the other people that go to the gym. It’s very
comfortable to me go to the gym because anybody is pretending to be you friends
All the conversations is restrict to ask for you water bottle or for asking
help with a machine you don’t know how to use. There are little social
interactions that make feel more pleasure that the gym interactions.
I am not sure happiness is overrated. It is about moments. I think it is about recognizing it more than looking for it. Suffering and bad times should never be denied. They are certainly a part of life, which also need to be embraced and accepted as part of our processes,
ReplyDeleteThere is a cientific explanation that compares the feels in the gym with love or something like that lol it's something similar with the serotonine and oxyton.
ReplyDeletethe issue of happiness is pretty interesting, because the entertainment industry works so hard to convince us to work for a plastic concept of contentment that many people aren't really connected to their inner sense of what feels good or bad, and so the possibility of experiencing genuine happiness gets shrouded in pointless events?
