Why There Is So Much Suffering In The World, And How You Can Learn To Cope With It.

in philosophy •  8 years ago 

The world is a beautiful mess. Lots of sorrow, lots of joy. You are free to choose how you feel and what you give thought to. I, for one, have chosen to be happy. That choice is available to anyone and does not imply unawareness to the suffering of others. It only implies quiet acceptance and making the choice of being happy and grateful for life, Being in the world but not of it.

Great post @son-of-satire.

I agree. It truly is a choice, but so many fail to realise this. I think in essence it is insecurity that is responsible for this. It is a lack of belief in one's own power to change their outlook and therefore their interpretation of reality. But this is what we should be getting taught in school.
