Posture for nothing, outer boons or burdens be damned.

Every instance of negativity in people only happens because of some desire from life. Hope for what good may be received, and fear of what bad may happen instead.

The only true positivity you will find is when someone acts without any sort of desire from this world of any kind. Only to give as they already have everything that’s needed from themselves.

Living this way may lead to being praised or condemned. Encouraged or punished. Neither matter because you do not live for what may come from others, but only for what comes from yourself. Love.

That's beautiful. I wish it was possible for more people to feel this way.

But not everyone is whole, and has everything they need. Sometimes they don't want what they need .
So many are broken, or damaged, or given so much of themselves they don't have enough left to give freely ....even if they wanted to .

So many are struggling....or think they are.

It's a world of commodities now....even down to our hearts.
I think were losing altruism. We aren't communities any more. There is no feeling of 'do good for goods sake' any more.😔

@OogieBoogie Does this concern you? I tend to see life in terms of opposites. The more difficult others can be, the happier I am with the rare some who aren’t. So in a way, seeing the state of today only promises future happiness.

@Reject I suppose it's how you see obstacles and what reserves you have.
Some see them as a challenge, some see them as a reminder of past or current hardship.

If you have a deep well to draw from....these things don't seem so bad. Bit of your well is dry...you're running on empty.

Some people's lives are already difficult ...stretched weekly to pay the bills, have enough for food....barely enough time for our responsibilities, let alone extra challenges.🤷

@OogieBoogie Everyone’s life has many challenges and obstacles, but these things aren’t problems unless you think they are. As I like to say! The only problem you’ll ever have in life is in the way you think things should be.

@Lyfis2live I appreciate it. I had a now rare moment when I felt like writing and decided I could post it here as well.
