No matter what we always feel that there's something missing with us and that there's something better elsewhere.
So why is that?
I don't have a clue, but this does remind of me of something I heard in a movie once. Long time ago, I can't even remember the film, which is annoying me but I will move on from that anyways back to the point, in the movie, there's this lady that says something in the lines of; all humans have a hole in their hearts or soul and that it can never be filled and hence causes greed and never feeling satisfied with what they have.
Well I can't say that what was said is true, but I understand the background to where that idea came from.
Come on, let's be truthful to ourselves, are we 100% content with our lives? There are people out there who think they are, and maybe they are, and I am happy for them, but for the rest of us, not so much.
We always try to fill the void that is within ourselves. How we try to fill it up is different from one person to the next. And this causes us to believe that once we achieve that one thing it would be better for us. We will be happier and life will be almost perfect.
But in reality that's not true right? I mean we can never make our life perfect. There is no such thing as perfect. Close to perfection? Yes. Perfect? No. Only the creator of this world is perfect and we human beings are obviously no where near that.
So what's the cure? What's the solution for us? The obvious answer is be happy with what you have. Look for the silver lining. For if you see the good side in life, you will live the good life.
That would work for so many people, but some of us, we need something more. I still didn't figure out what is that we need. But it's out there somewhere. Until then we can just pray for the best for ourselves and hope one day, we can smile and say "you know what, I'm happy with my life" Inshallah.
It is so true what you say about seeing the good side in life...
ReplyDeleteobviously my life is nowhere next to perfect but hamdilla i am content with it and I am happy with where it is, what i've done, and what i should be doing...
but if i were to sit and think that I am missing something then that would definetely drag me down... so we should look at life as a glass half full rather than a glass half empty. :)

yeah you see a lot of people can see it that way, they always see the glass as half full, they chose that, but for others, we can't help but seeing the glass as half empty, why is that? i don't know, but one day that'll change ...

if people didnt seek the better.. if people didnt look for perfection.. we would've still been cave men.. its in our nature to explore.. to seek whats beyond our hands.. if there is an actually better side then hurray!.. if there isnt.. we do learn something. thats why its always a win-win situation.. never stop seeking whats better.. content u can be.. but never satisfied.
ReplyDeletehano.Oshi: u said it, we always want more, human nature babe, i am the opposite of you, i am not always optimistic, but not always a pessimist either, i'm inbetween i guess,
ReplyDeletelove u 2!
Unforgivable sinner: i see your point, i forgot 2 mention it, if we dint seek for more we would not have gotten anywhere, but at the same time, greed can overcome someone and its just goes wrong any extreme is not right. so yeah
and yeah i agree 100% content you can be but never satisfied, it would make an awesome quote ;)
