Happiness doesn’t feel as much, as until there has been some suffering.
For the last several hundred years, abundance is abundant!
- abundance of food – we forgot to feel hungry.
- order, eat, more
- abundance of healthcare – a headache – take a pill, fever – take a pill, pain – take a pain killer.
- abundance of entertainment – in a lift – scroll insta, eating dinner – watch netflix, travelling in metro – whatsapp.
- abundance of food deliveries – the high of tasty food, always.
In a way, it seems like the ease & abundance became available at a rate that is very fast compared to the time our brains had time to evolve & adapt to this speed. Obviously, we as a species are unable to handle this abundance.
Therefore, now I also question the following:
- Are cleanliness and hygiene overrated?
- Lack of constraints is overrated?
- Planning is overrated?
- Is being nice overrated?
- Is being not involved in physical fights overrated?
- Is being well mannered, soft spoken and cultured overrated?
- Individualism overrated?
Maybe a bit of insanity, and letting go and mess ups and unplannedness is what’s sane?
