Less problems - more sorrows
printLess problems - more sorrows
Less Problems you have - the more Sorrows there are
After some 200 rather heavy stories, let's be nice for a while. I explain how you can have less problems in life:
Just assume you have a beautiful house in the landside with sight on the Sea. A great garden, swimming pool, fire place, veranda, TV and Music Chamber and lots of money some experts looks for. You have a nice husband or so, plus a very happy dog.
All you have to do is going in the tiny village in a little shop that gives you everything you need.
Naturally, you possess a yacht in the port of Monaco including a sailor, but you need such stuff only for eventual cases, if you feel good enough to go on the Sea. Sex is okay and life-style satisfies you completely.
You are beautiful, intelligent, in best health and age - and nothing could trouble your happiness.
Hmmmm, something is wrong here----
NO PROBLEMS at all?
What a life! Let's face it: You get accustomed to happiness and of having all you want. But it's terrible, because some day, you want more than just nothing but happiness and no problems at all. This really would be a program to soon require the best psychiatrist of the Land.
Therefore, something must happen or you get nuts.
Well, you could get President of France but this means a listing of duties of wide over 200 points and meetings a day. And it means taking over responsibility. So, get rid of the idea, the situation of Berlusconi or Obama or Merkel or Thatcher would be heaven on Earth. They believe in it, because dullness is program.
There must be better things than becoming lying Presidents or some odd CEOs of huge banks.
Well, I help you a little: You discover some day that you are a marvellous novel-writer and you find the best editor in the world and you start, between eating excellent food with best wines, and walking with the dog and swimming in the pool, writing a first novel. And now - where is here the success?
Naturally, this matter becomes a best-seller and you get more money on your bank account. However, how can you be sure, you did not write scrap?
Don't worry, be happy - because you get now the Dynamite Prize for senseless literature from Stockholm, those blind mice - for sure - and now you are famous and write the second and the third and the fourth Novel. And time goes by and age and illness comes.
Some day you wake up and become beware: I did NOTHING for changing the world in positive ways.
And now you have really a great problem.
How being on Earth with talents, be looking like a mouse in front of a snake on the coming disaster of human mankind - and not doing anything for changing the effects? No explanations, no solutions to change habits, no ideas of innovation for better techniques and banks and casinos? What a mess!
And all of a sudden you get the truth: Your life has been in vain, too easy, with too less of problems for understanding anything in economics, philosophy, politics, ecology and all the rest.
Terrible: How can you go on with your life under these conditions?
Well, you minimize your expectations in humans and their dealings in general - and in yourself. Look on your dog: He is happy and knows nothing. Look on Obama, he is happy and knows nothing. Look on Bill Gates and Soros and Putin and Bin Laden. They all know nothing and are happy.
The trick of having no problems, is to see no problems.
Naturally the stock exchange will tumble to hell and some other problems come up and you still have not changed the world for better. And you have not even created an Online Paper for Nuts.
You want me to help?
Here is your trick: Just know that you are in the position of wide over 99 percent of humans on this Globe. You are exactly the same as the average of 7 billions - or more, since you have the Prize of Dynamite and when waking up in the morning you know: I have lost my money, my shares, my health, my husband and my dog, but I still have my Novels and my Dynamite.
To be honest, this was nasty to the max. Hollywood knows better:
It was the other way round: You arrange yourself with the fact, not being able to change a world getting lost more and more, with gigantic masses of fools - because this state of affairs is highly normal and pragmatic. Further, it was not true that you lost your wealth and health and husband - and even your happy dog is still full of life.
You see, men and women can life in happiness without the slightest problem. It's possible.
What an Argentine professor said to another Darling living in Texas in the USA:
"I have lived 43 years in Argentina; all my life I experienced an economic crisis. However, I lived a happy and fulfilled existence. Maybe Americans should try to understand that economics are not the only important issue in life." - Intelligent - n'est-ce pas - but not true - only valid for well-off professors, financed by taxes of the poor.
Might well be that intelligent people have more problems than dull ones. Those simple-minded folks who live into they days, have changes, but no profound problems. The advantage for the intelligent folks in view of world-problems: They can see relativity of facts and so are able to make a distinction between useless sorrows and situations to be mastered in any case.
Another wisdom now: The less wealth you have, the less troubles you may find in your life. For whatever you don't possess, not only with Cash, you have not to worry about---
So, less is more--- I am the living example for this assertion.
