What do you want?

[Jabberwocky]

Sometimes I know a career will provide comfort. Sometimes I know it would be a force. Sometimes I know society has value. Sometimes I know it just isn't for me.

All can be true, but because I don't have lots of life experience I don't know how heavily I weight my thoughts.

No one can experience everything in one life time, or even in many.

Going with ones gut is obviously something people say to do. And for the most part I too believe if holds weight. But the gut doesn't have to dictate the action. It can be kept as a feeling or a thought.

All can be true, but because I don't have lots of life experience

experience is valuable but lack of experience provides perspective too.

I've thought about this honestly. What do I really want.

I think the answer at this point is: I want to live each day of my life, however many I have left, doing all that I can to minimize stress and anxiety while maximizing my inner feeling of peace and gratitude.

I want to be in a headspace where I can do enough to enjoy the essential things that bring me happiness. Things that cannot be bought with money. Like playing with my dogs and spending time with my brother and niece. Enjoying nice weather and nice food. Abstaining from toxic things like alcohol and social media that only add negativity to my life.

Cooking my own food, going out to eat with others who I love. trying to be healthy and enjoying the feeling that gives me mentally and emotionally, rather than indulging in things that only give temporary satisfaction.

Overall, realizing how short our time here is. And learning to appreciate what I have while I can.

I already own a house with property. What I really want now is a women to get married to.

 

[Jen X]

1 solid year of peace. Since my husband passed it seems like something bad keeps on happening. I'm not a bad person but I must have been Hitler in a former life

How exactly do you mean the lack of experience part?

Thanks that's good perspective. A good reminder of gratefulness

nicely put.

i mean don't beat yourself up because you "don't have lots of life experience".

experience can be valuable but it also can instill bias. your lack of experience gives you a detachment or neutrality others do not have.

Peace on earth and no more wars.

 

[Asclepius]

^^I disagree, bias is very valid - without it - how can you challenge it?


This is maturity - people get tainted by ideology/distraction et. al.

Freezing immaturity is a bit creepy, imho. (Although, I appreciate the ideal)



Anyhow,

I want everything as it is but to deal with it, more wisely.I also want 'wiselier' to be in the Encarta.

Live. Survive . Thrive.

Get a good night's sleep & hopefully, connect with the small things in life that make it worth living.

I don't disagree Miss America

Is that what he means maybe, that one experienced talking to one lack of experience will bring the ultimate challenges from a more "detached" perspective?

Do you mean as it is for you or others?

Sometimes I watch commercials and I'm like this is dumb as shit and who'd sign up to promote it. But then I think, maybe there's a purpose, and maybe there is a family needing food. Maybe I'm just naive to how the world works in ways

Yeah in this show "Naked and Afraid" which is basically 21st century torture, the discovery channel throws two people in a jungle with a pot to boil water and a flint, picks them up miles away 3 weeks later. Most people on the show say "I wanna prove that I'm a BaDaSs!!1", but some, want to survive and thrive. Because it's fun and fulfilling. Those ones is less about torture and more about damn that actually looks fun

Yeah naps are sick. Sometimes when I'm angry or overthinking something I just nap.

What I always wanted on a large scale is to be myself, and live life to my own standards. Despite some unhappy episodes, I have been able to that so far.

On a smaller scale, what I want changes every one to three years. I guess it's called growth.

I agree very much.

When I feel my personality is being suppressed because of a situation, I do some drastic things to feel more in control. Usually I simply get up and leave. Which although can leave things messy, feels extremely liberating.

All I want is to minimize suffering and maximize contentment.

At the end of the day I think that's what most human beings want, they all just go about it differently.

Do you believe there is no benefit in suffering?

 

[paltatomate]

There might be pleasure in suffering, or it might be a challenge. But then it's not real suffering, just discomfort.
Real suffering is pointless.
