You ask anyone what they want in life, and it's always happiness.
Quite rightly too tbh. Happiness is probably the most important thing in life.
Or is it?
Don't get me wrong. I just want to be happy for the next 60 odd years I spend breathing. That is quite literally the meaning of life if I'm being honest. The pursuit of happiness.
But, as with everything, it's no way near as simple as that.
Newtons 3rd Law: For every action there is an equal and opposite re-action.
Hmm.
Lets assume for a second, that to be happy, you kinda need to be a "winner" in life, instead of a loser. I'm not saying that every human being on the planet can be categorised into two catagories, win or fail, but I'm sure you understand what I mean.
I mean, if you fail at everything you do at life, your hardly gonna be joyful are you?
Well if there is such a thing as a winner, then there must automatically be a loser.
It is true that such things such as a "win-win situation" do exist, but they are few and far between. And they dont work out that well.
I believe the real winners in life are the ones who say Fuck It to compromise, and get exactly what they want.
How far would you go to be a winner?
All I want in my life is to be happy.
But if I'm sat on my deathbed, and I say "Shit, I wish I hadn't done that." They I dont think it'll have been worth it. You may have been happy for the majority of your adult life, but if your not happy in your final moments of your life, and you begin to regret, then I reckon you've fucked up somewhere down the line.
I'm scared I'm gonna regret.
But Fuck It.
I'll be dead.
I'm pretty sure I wont give a shit.
Are you supposed to be happy, when all you've ever wanted, comes at a price?
Only regret the things you didn't do x

ReplyDeleteI think its fair to say most people obtain happiness by making those they care about happy. Although its not really a quantifiable concept compromise can create more happiness than not.
I don't believe a world without compromise is the way forward...
