After watching a bunch of TED talks, I keep on hearing the word authentic. The speakers always made it a point to emphasize that authentic has a personal definition. In authentic happiness, it is your own version of happiness. I do not understand this. Does this mean that if I find it I will always have it? Does it mean constant bliss? Of course not.
Since we broke up, I keep on thinking about this. I submerged myself in materializing this idea like making it a case study so that I will not sink in an emotional quicksand. It is my fault. I became paranoid and jealous. Now, I ask myself why? If I am going to submerge myself in the quicksand then it will appear that he is my authentic happiness. I am so tempted to submerge myself.
Note: an edited continuation.
After days of thinking about it. It is my conclusion that authentic happiness will emerge only from our own efforts. You do not seek it or learn it. You acknowledge it within. I am happy. I have everything I need in my life right now. I can get everything I want. I can be anything I want. My happiness cannot be based on whether someone loves me or not. That is it. Love is not something I can force out from another person. If it is gone, it will never go back. Thus, this gives you a chance to see those who truly love you. He is God, who gave you family and friends who will eternally love you no matter what. Besides that is not a person's purpose in life.
Let us all try to save this world from ourselves for the next generations. Let us all dream for a better world where the devil can only linger to try to tempt us but we will refuse sternly just like Jesus did during his forty day fasting. Let us all live everyday like it is our last. Let us all continue to show love to everyone around us. The world is a wonderful place where the good and the bad are in constant war and we decide who wins.
