How fortunate I am, or how lucky I was, I could guess, when thinking about the good stuff that I actually get to enjoy while being alive in this world. Actually, we take a few of the things we have at our disposal for granted, technology for the most part, but also caring people that surround us, and having at our disposal several tools that enhance our lives and make it better.
Albeit, sometimes, we may still ever feel longing for other stuff, to feel the need to satisfy some constant hunger, a sort of hinderance that never goes away. But all that it makes is just leave us ill to the shortcomings of live. Instead when taking the good configurations we have at our disposal, or even improving us, we tend to waste our times, and ultimately our lives during and enduring some disposable outcomes and outcries.
Take Instagram for example, or even TikTok. We have a marvellous time at our disposal to do things, discover things, help other people, several possibilities, and yet… We still find ourselves trapped on the same will’o wisp of a catching something that’s missing, and with that we fill our time with nonsense, just because we can, and because it’s easy, and we are making our lives miserable in the long run!
I take this blog and these pages as an escape from it, and also a blessing, for me to have some part on the web that I don’t know if ever someone besides me will read the crap that I post in here, but when I feel the urge, I can go somewhere and vent about it, and that’s OK.
And more than that, how fortunate I am to have the conditions that I do, the people I have nearby me and how great it could be if I could help them somehow! Even more, help them escape from suffering, even help myself escape from it.
Contentment, it seems, is one of the key features, and now I am fortunate enough to recognize just as how lucky I am to be in such a position I am in, to have spaces that possibilitate me to grow as a person, and maybe retribute the blessings others have contributed in my life so far.
Maybe we just need some time, and some space, to consider about just how fortunate we are, even though things might now not be working out as expected, I guess then that everything is a matter of perspective.
So I choose the latter, the cup half full. (but it doesn’t extinguish the fact that the other half is also half empty it’s just what we do choose to put our attention to).
