De ce e asa de greu de gasit fericirea?

Pentru ca nu acceptam fericirea pe care o avem. Mereu alergam dupa alta si ramanem doar cu sperantele...

Povesti :

One day while walking through the wilderness a man stumbled upon a vicious tiger. He ran but soon came to the edge of a high cliff. Desperate to save himself, he climbed down a vine and dangled over the fatal precipice. As he hung there, two mice appeared from a hole in the cliff and began gnawing on the vine. Suddenly, he noticed on the vine a plump wild strawberry. He plucked it and popped it in his mouth. It was incredibly delicious!

Nu ne-am putea bucura de ea daca am avea-o mereu...mai rarut ca-i mai dragut nu? si atunci stim sa o apreciem asa cum ar trebui sa apreciem cam tot ce ni se intampla . bafta

O avem mereu, un om o are daca se concentreaza sa fie el insusi - sa afle sigur cine e si sa traiasca in momentul prezent fara trecut si viitor.

Ryokan, a Zen master, lived the simplest kind of life in a little hut at the foot of a mountain. One evening a thief visited the hut only to discover there was nothing to steal.

Ryokan returned and caught him. "You have come a long way to visit me," he told the prowler, "and you should not return empty-handed. Please take my clothes as a gift."

The thief was bewildered. He took the clothes and slunk away.

Ryoken sat naked, watching the moon. "Poor fellow," he mused, "I wish I could have given him this beautiful moon."

A university student while visiting Gasan asked him: "Have you ever read the Christian Bible?"

"No, read it to me," said Gasan.

The student opened the Bible and read from St. Matthew: "And why take ye thought for rainment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow. They toil not, neither do they spin, and yet I say unto you that even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these... Take therefore no thought for the morrow, for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself."

Gasan said: "Whoever uttered those words I consider an enlightened man."

The student continued reading: "Ask and it shall be given you, seek and ye shall find, knock and it shall be opened unto you. For everyone that asketh receiveth, and he that seeketh findeth, and to him that knocketh, it shall be opened."

Gasan remarked: "That is excellent. Whoever said that is not far from Buddhahood."

Subhuti was Buddha's disciple. He was able to understand the potency of emptiness, the viewpoint that nothing exists except in its relationship of subjectivity and objectivity.

One day Subhuti, in a mood of sublime emptiness, was sitting under a tree. Flowers began to fall about him.

"We are praising you for your discourse on emptiness," the gods whispered to him.

"But I have not spoken of emptiness," said Subhuti.

"You have not spoken of emptiness, we ahve not heard emptiness," responded the gods. "This is the true emptiness." And blossoms showered upon Subhuti as rain.

Aceleas sunt dar nu am io ce face, le postez iar :P

De ce e asa de greu de gasit fericirea?

Fiindca omul o cauta mereu in locul gresit, o cauta in exterior cand ea e in interior. D-aia.

Fericirea nu e greu de gasit,e doar greu de pastrat

V-ati intrebat vreodata de ce nu ne punem genul asta de intrebari si in momentele de fericire??De ce atunci uitam sa intrebam asta??

Si daca am fi tot timpul fericiti,unde ar mai fi placerea??

Fericirea cere sacrificii pe care cei mai multi dintre noi nu suntem dispusi sa le facem...Si atunci nu suntem oare ingrati cand venim si intrebam "De ce e asa de greu de gasit fericirea?"

Pentru ca uneori o cautam cu prea mare disperare.In momentul in care uitam sa o mai asteptam sa apara, vine singura....

Fericirea nu e greu de gasit... exista in fiecare dintre noi, doar ca uneori suntem prea orbi sa o observam... e adevarat, e bine ascunsa, dar cu putin efort o putem afla. Uneori ne lasam cuprinsi de alte sentimente si uitam de fericire, o ingropam... Oricum... ea e acolo, tre' doar putin efort si poti fi fericit.

Sunt fericita doar cand ma pierd in idei.....

Pt autor : ai dreptate, dar tu te referi la ceva ce cautam in afara. Pararea mea (la modul general) :

De ce? Hm... Poate pentru ca poate te frichinesti ca cainele sa pari smecher (pt femei, mai ales) si atragator/-oare, cand, de fapt, poate ca ai cu totul alte atuuri. Poate ca esti un om activ, focused, convingator mai mult prin ce faci decat prin ce spui. de, nu tot prostu face politica, nu, bai, desteptilor - varianta mea.

Alter cauze nu gasesc - maximizeaza-ti calitatile, iar daca nu esti natural inclinat spre ceva, las-o balta... Fa sport, ca e naspa sa fii gras/a.

Cultiva pamantu sa vezi ce-o sa creasca. Nu cultiva deserturi, ca iese ma abtin.
