Throughout
the human experience, we come across a variety of people. Inside of those people,
exist experiences that have shaped the way in which they view the world. The
same thing applies to you. We all want that one person that will love us 100%.
In that journey to find the imperfect person, we must go through trials and
tribulations that help us appreciate what we are looking for. When it comes to
love, happiness, and satisfaction, that person manages to balance all three.
Sometimes the road to each of these lanes may intertwine, while others may be
off in separate directions. Within the last, few weeks I began to examine just what
makes me happy, my idea of love, and what satisfies me. There are men and women
out in the world that spend their entire life times trying to find people that
compliment them, while others steadily bump their heads without evaluating
self. In order for one to know or want love, happiness, and satisfaction, they
must have a desire to seek it. From there on you study how you feel when you
are in love, happy or satisfied. For me I love people, I am happy helping
people, but the lengths to which I am able to help people leaves me
unsatisfied.
In no
way have, I thought about bashing young men and women that have kids in their
early 20’s. The only thing I stress is that parents have enough respect for them
to give their kids a better future and not raise them to be passive, ignorant,
and intolerant of people. I personally have suffered from loneliness. That is
not something that many people would be willing to admit, but to get anywhere
you have to understand where you are coming from. I say that to pose a
question: is it possible that young men and women are having kids because they
are not loved, unhappy, and unsatisfied? It is very possible to say the least.
I see the beauty behind having children despite the economic problems of
America. Children make us want to do better, and give us meaning. They fill a
void of being worthy to do for someone. For starters, I am an uncle. My niece
Zoe brings joy and meaning to my life. She makes me want to do more. I love my
niece and I want nothing, but happiness for her, however I still suffer from
loneliness. Children can do but so much, however where do we go from here?
The
search for love, happiness, and satisfaction is not limited to physical means.
Drug addicts, serial killers, and even those that enslave women for money find
happiness in what they do. I am not saying that these behaviors are right, but
I cannot judge how another decides to seek out what makes them complete. The
only thing that I am concerned with is being too comfortable. From firsthand experience,
I can tell you that being comfortable can leave you stunned and immature, but
for others that may not be the case. Enjoy the growth that we have been able to
experience and learn from it. Think about what you really desire and get it.
Wants and needs are different for everyone, but be realistic about them. For me
simplicity is what makes me happy. Being able to wake up, look out the window,
and stare in the sky can keep a smile on my face for the rest of the day. Above
everything, do not sell yourself short from being loved, happy, or satisfied.
When you travel down that lane, you are only lying to yourself. Find something to
smile about in these hard times. As always, I leave you with food for thought. Open
a window and let the sun shine. You deserve it J
