What are we waiting for?
We wait for the right opportunity to be healthy, happy, rich, live long, start a business, fall in love, communicate and improve our personal lives, but if we keep waiting and waiting, nothing will come of this life. Again, we are waiting for interest rates on deposits to rise, we are waiting for the economic situation (inflation) to improve, we are waiting for a job to be found, we are waiting for the situation to change, we are waiting for our second half, then weddings. But sometimes waiting can and is beneficial, but only sometimes, and basically waiting is like an endless state of trance, which prolongs everything and drags out time.
How much time is spent on WAITING for useful knowledge, and not on the act of GETTING this useful knowledge. There is always a reason to wait, to procrastinate, to put off time. But there is no reason to read a book, to seek science, to come to the true faith.
Help yourself
I once read a biography of a famous singer. She was young, beautiful and smart. She did whatever she wanted, but repeatedly tried to commit suicide with drugs. Do you know why? Because she could not cope with her spiritual emptiness. She did not realize that she herself could create the truth of her dreams, fill her emptiness with true happiness, instead she engaged in self-deception, never feeling true happiness called self-help. She hoped until help would come, thinking (that someone would save her) that other people, the environment, could make her life better. But that help never came.
The desire to become happy using others, and the belief that others can make me happy, endless social projects and the false promise that we will build a just, happy, humane society will not work. The false belief that humanity will build a more intelligent, spiritual and perfect society is nothing more than self-deception. All and sundry urge us to fight for a better life and for the improvement of society. But this is ignorant. Because each of us is individual, but we can be happy independently of each other. Society (other people) is not obliged to help you, we are obliged to help ourselves.
Debts and debts are a new burden on us. Our minds don’t know how to deal with countless social programs. When the government tries to change something for the better, it makes us look for meaning from scratch, it seems that the government does not fully understand what is wrong with the world and people, and people are trying to solve problems due to external factors. We want to change the reality around us, but this approach fails in advance as we fight against the wrong result, not the cause. In such a situation, a good society is not formed. The government can help us, but in fact we can help ourselves, help ourselves means help others, help others means help ourselves. The people are the government, each person is the president of his life. Everyone’s life is in his own hands, in his own mind. If you want to help others, help yourself first, if you cannot help yourself, then just know that no one is to blame and you will learn to help yourself.
