Solitude

Sometimes the complex evolutionary state we are in makes us choose between solitude an loneliness.

In the present world which has evolved from the hunter gatherer ,our mind is constantly yearning for some solitude , at the same time the fear of alienation still looms large.

More than ever we need our solitude ,being alone give us the power to reinvent and discover ourselves , but again the "grass is greener syndrome "still persists .

The present society which "worships independence " yet " fears loneliness" intrigues me .

The imminent and apparent state of affairs confuses me , whether to " follow "or to "lead ".

Happiness

Happiness in this world , comes incidentally .

Make it the object of pursuit , and it leads us to a wild goose chase , and is never attained .

Follow some other object , and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it .

It's the paradox of life ; the way to miss pleasure is to seek it first .

The very first condition of lasting happiness is that a life should be full of purpose ,aiming at something outside self.
As a matter of experience , we find that true happiness comes in seeking other things , in the complex activities of life, in the healthful outgoing of all human powers............
