What Is Most Advantageous?
What Is Most Advantageous?
Spelled it correctly… ha!
The Problem:
In my last post, I talked about the need for the freedom of thought; and how important it is to be able to have such. A more important question arises; that in the event you have freedom of thought; which thoughts; are the most advantageous to think about?
It Matters
I’ve talked before about how the quality of a persons life; is primarily made from the quality of their thoughts. That is given, that they think at all.
Costs
Really in my mind, what it comes down to, is this: what is affordable and reasonable? Seems everything costs something these days. And, what you have to consider; is somethings cost either: time or pain; and sometimes, both of those things.
Therefore that which costs the least pain, or time; would be best. However, there is some pain involved in living life, and those things are remarkably difficult to avoid having to deal with. Therefore, what is acceptable, and most cost effective?
Does it mean that in the event a person wants great results, that they have to suffer the most? How much is enough? You would think, the pain that I’ve endured the last twenty-two years; would have paid for everything.
When You Want Results
When a person wants to live their best lives, and wildest fantasies, those things, may have a higher cost, then say living like Amish. Then one must consider; if the value of the risks involved, will be worthy of the cost of time or pain.
Thoughts
The bible says: Build your home upon the rock mass. There are advantages to doing this. If you won’t or can’t think; you might go, and build your home; in a stream bed, because right now there is not a flood taking place.
However, in the event you build your house, on the rock mass, when the floods come; your home won’t wash away, and be ruined. Or when the ground trembles, and shakes; it won’t fall down easily.
Advanced Thoughts
Want good results. Is what I’m asking for too expensive in cost of either time or pain, to be endured? Want great results, and in the event that means having to deal with some discomforts; in the long run; it would have to be worthy of doing, to want to do that.
Everything costs something. Want results; that work for me. At what cost? See the problem? I have to wonder, what i want is going to be how expensive? I don’t know, at least not right now.
There are things, that i don’t know yet…
Further Reasoning
Having the freedom of thought; means you could think anything. However, sometimes thinking can be painful, and if you want really good quality of life, then you have to be willing to only think what doesn’t cause pains.
Maybe, most humans would be better off; living like Amish, and having nothing more than that? Maybe so. Still, have to consider; what I want to do with my life.
My problem with that, is long term, it wouldn’t make me happy.
However . . .
Problems In Life
I’ve lived my life a lot. I’ve done some things in my life, that have been interesting. What I’ve found, it doesn’t matter how great of a success that I can accomplish; unless there is someone to share those things with; they really don’t have much value.
Some twenty five years ago, I was working, and living my life. I even went as far to pass a very difficult exam; which has a failure rate of 60%; and passed it on the first attempt at taking the test. And it was great. For a week or two. The problem with that, was I didn’t have my family or a wife, or girlfriend.
And, I had complete and total meltdown about not having a girlfriend; that the pride of having passed the test, was not enough to suffice in making me happy about life. Why? Because the most basic need of having my emotional and mental needs met; where not present.
And, really it may not matter how much that I accomplish in this life; because my findings are, that there is no one to share them with. Even in the event that I had total control of everything in this world; my basic needs still would not be met.
What good is any world; in the event there is no one to share it with? I have no friends here, nor anyone to talk with me now; just a change in the scenery wouldn’t fix the problem.
What matters is having people that celebrate, and share with me; in my victories. And, looking at it right now; there isn’t anyone that gives a damn about anything that I do.
I find, that to be a problem.
So I must ask; What is most advantageous to think about? I’ve solved the equation about a problem; however, it doesn’t feel like there is a good answer to my problem.
