Are we messed up in our Heads?

Do you think we as a scoeity are in a really messed up state? Most essential things in life are most commonly available, we can survive without for a month and we dont need much money for food. Water, cant go without it for more than 1 week perhaps, its supposed to be freely available in rivers/streams. Air is the most essential and its free, and everywhere. Why so much struggle, chaos and unhappiness? I have not met a single grown up person around me who can say they are bursting with joy.

Happiness is about so much more than survival. It's about fulfillment, feeling useful, and feeling appreciated. So many other things too, but those are a few.

@Angelwings89 I agree with you, they are all emotions, they come for free, we are so stingy to not share goodness and joy around us. If a stranger does a kind thing to us without a reason, dont we feel elated! As a kid we felt the sense of accomplishment for little things that wudnt matter to adults right? for someone 1 Billion is worth it, for someone its nothing. We keep setting the bar higher, i dont know by whose standards. Perhaps all we need is loving kind open hearted people all around us. Unconditional Love can fill the hearts otherwise we keep searching for a variety of emotions to fill it.

@Om2014 I think it's human nature to never be satisfied. If we could be truly satisfied, we wouldn't have the drive to better our lives. And thus human evolution would be hindered. Unfortunately though greed, selfishness, and apathy are part of human nature too. We are making progress as a species, but it is very slow.

@Angelwings89 Those are very solid thoughts! Everything here is in motion. Moving is existence, stillness is absolute. So yes i agree with you all the way, its not meant to be perfect. If mind had it all, it will cease to exist so will we (as human beings). But, lol i think we have been going backwards in terms of evolution, not as individuals but as society. Anyways a big change is under way i believe. :)

@Om2014 sometimes to take a step forward, you have to take two steps back. So many people don't like change. So they resist it, put up a fight to it. And that slows down progress. But eventually, hopefully anyway, enough people get on board and see that change is a good thing. And then we have positive change!

@Angelwings89 Yes, this is a class we must pass!
