I have an inkling that people are afraid to be content and happy. For some reason we like to dwell in misery and mourn the loss of potential glory. In this quest for happiness, we have somehow become apprehensive about reaching that end. We don't want that end - we enjoy it too much now.... wait - we ARE happy now! Terror!!! Unfortunately, some people do not realise that there need not be fear in being happy - it does not mean an end nor does it mean that purpose will be lost.

Now, in essence it doesn't really matter that people may take a lifetime to learn this truth. But the problem arises when people are so fearful of their own happiness that they inadvertently inflict pain upon those around them. How does this situation become ameliorated? I'm not sure. For one could try to enlighten them, but they would inevitably drag you down just a bit in the struggle.

Still, I find it a bit disturbing that grown adults would still have such psychological issues. Human beings aren't very secure. I suppose it's a double-edged sword. I wondered the other day whether there would be any need for humility if people were secure within themselves. Then there also would not be jealousy, betrayal, greed, arrogance, etc.

Yesterday my integrity was questioned TWICE! Funny how one's mind fixates on similar themes like that. By a stranger, I'm a bit bemused. But by a supposed friend? Well. What can I say. (I mean, obviously before these thoughts I spent ages dwelling on more negative and reactive thoughts. But let's not focus on those, they have gone.)
