I Am Developing My Own Philosophy
No matter how much I wish for a decent job, a nice girlfriend, and a car that works well enough, I am not able to acquire these things through normal means.
I realised one day that my desires, however logical and humble they may be, are actually causing me frustration, guilt,anxiety, distraction etc. I recognized that they are also the source of chaos in my life.
So, I have effectively taken my desires and squashed them into a ball, stuffed them into a box, sealed it and put it in the deepest corner of a crowded closet and shut the door.
I don't want to be controlled by my desires, and I refuse to let them control me.
Some would only see this as "giving up" but that is only a phrase that society has created to push you over the edge. It is a taunting phrase designed to cause you to act out emotionally.
Society is all about manipulating your personal desires. The media is designed to trigger and create desires within you and some that are unnatural. Do not fall prey to this. Keep your desires on a tight leash.
Try to be at peace with what life has already given you: perhaps your health, perhaps a place to live, perhaps plenty of food, perhaps some kind friends.
