The clock is ticking and life slipping away, it urges people to rush to complete their unfulfilled desires, create bucket lists, etc. It is like a bottomless pit, as many desires you fulfill it never gets filled and you remain craving for more… This craving arises from the fact that you think you are incomplete and that fulfilling desires will somehow complete you. Regardless of how many years you have lived fulfilling desires, the craving for more remains and then you seek peace of mind without realising that you are the one agitating it in the first place by holding on to desire fulfilment as the mode of living.
You can choose to live life from the sense of being complete (being)or the sense of being incomplete and chasing things/people (doing) in order to give you a sense of completion. Needless to say, which one brings peace…
The journey from “doing” to “being” is one of maturity, acceptance, letting go that only a few are interested in pursuing and even fewer accomplishing it. However, “being” is the essence of living – knowing that you are complete here and now and there is nothing to be “done” in order to bring happiness to you.
As Horace puts it “that best of blessings, a contented mind”….
