Life is simple but we complicate it. Nothing is “Expected” of us, it is our imagined expectations of ourselves and others that creates problems in the first place. We are just a miniscule piece of energy experiencing life in this world which is itself insignificant as compared to the universe. Our intellect urges us to try to figure out the reason for all this creation but in the process we ignore the most simple principles of life & complicate things for ourselves & others.
Everything is temporary – including your time in this world, your body, mind, and everything that you see around. You are a visitor, at best who has been given a suit(body) and a mind(cognitive & communication) abilities. You want to find out why instead of doing the work you were sent here to do in the first place – your karma. The intelligence that has created this wonderful creation knows what it’s doing, it doesn’t need our esteemed advice.
If you simply accept that you have a car – first learn to drive it without hurting others and enjoy the car & the sights around. Keep it simple – live by a simple code that helps you and all others experience their short time called life in as good a way as possible. You can’t make others happy if you are not happy yourself. Being happy is living simple. Just switch the paradigm of your life from getting to giving. Takers may eat better but the givers sleep better.
Life is for giving & forgiving and not for getting & forgetting…
