Natural Freedom

I detached myself from the endless streams of students not to long ago today and bathed in the sun, shirtless , reminiscing on thoughts. Issue of Peace vs. Happiness arose.

Here's my statement(s):

People strive to be happy or happier in this journey, or more so in life; everyone vaguely speaking seeks pleasure (happiness) and not pain.

For example, myself in the beginning, had desires to be happier. What I realized today not to long ago shook me up.

This is in my own opinion and what I see fit for me. What I strived for in the beginning was happiness, but a few layers deeper what I seeked and pursued was PEACE. Peace with oneself to be more specific. I believed I wanted to be happier, but the happiness was a front to feel at peace with oneself. When you're "happy" (whatever that means for you) you feel at peace with yourself. Happiness lays space for inner peace and so does the contrary. The ONLY thing different between the two is: Happiness is ever fleeting, while PEACE with oneself is a choice you make and work to acquire for oneself.

When the choice is made for inner peace a space is opened up which ALLOWS more "happiness to come through". While if you work on acquiring happiness (sex, drugs, sports, music, etc) you'll always be chasing it.

To wrap it up I feel I thought I desired happiness, but on a deeper level I really desired inner peace with myself.

To look in the mirror and feel nothing but unconditional love (NOT love for yourself because you fuck bad bitches, or make hella money. Love in the essence that you can't even describe it in words type.) for the spirit and flesh you see is one of the greatest successes/accomplishments in my book. And one I am in the midst of.

Let me know, as you fellas always do , what your thoughts are on my statement(s).

I'm back to doing my push-ups, so i'm not gonna be posting as much as I have been lately, but I wanted to say that, in my opinion, you're definitely going in the right direction. Specifically, what I like is the fact that your success in the Thanksgiving post has not derailed you from the real work - YOU. To me, that's HUGE. I'm posting because you should be especially congratulated for this, in my opinion.

Regarding what you said, well of course I agree. To combine something that Kidd!! says quite often with something that I posted elsewhere on this forum:

Once you truly become your own best friend, it is inevitable that needs will be thereby transmuted into preferences.

Forgot to add: something I came across recently while surfing the net that made me chuckle:

Fucking profound!


Have you ever heard: YOU can CHOOSE to be happy.

Lol I was going to ask a question on a forum if that is normal:D I am experiencing it now:) The best thing for me in this is that it takes this whole presssure from you, and honestly for the first time from 6 month I started feeling carefree. Thanks guys

Ignorance or awareness precedes our choices.
The only sin is ignorance.

Happiness is you expressing your true self,
following your life purpose.
Peace is being unattached to whether you are
happy or not.
