any brehs 30 and up feel more at peace and more accepting about life?
Life isn't about avoiding suffering or running away from experience... happiness is when you understand your suffering & accept it as it is & go from there...
Happiness is a state, not a feeling... and people constantly "chase" that "feeling" of happiness by placing an Image to happiness such as a Wife, Kids, Car, Dream Job, etc... only to get it believing it was supposed to bring happiness to realize they don't actually "feel" different... or that it's temporary once the honeymoon phase is over and the chase begins again because something is still... missing.
Why? Because since birth ideals, systems, rules & societal expectations are drilled into your head and people spend their entire life chasing something they were taught would make them happy only to realize it doesn't. This is what creates a lot of the Mid-Life Crisis's when the Individual wakes up & realizes he's spent his entire life living to fulfill the expectations of others & has never actually been... "happy."
@DrX I don't normally comment in your threads but it is always nice to peek into the mind of a Soul whose Consciousness has expanded enough to as Plato put... "See through the Illusion of Society."
Not a knock on anyone... we are all different and beautiful in our own ways. Also, understand this... everyone lives for their own reasons... if we all stopped judging eachothers experience and tried to understand instead we would all be...
..."Happy."

same here...i agree with everything
agree...all gems u dropped
man im cool...i accept my faults, even laugh and make fun of myself....im cool. I think its important to just stay calm and take life one day at a time and realize you're not special and aren't entitled to anything...
now im just content with working and hopefully soon finding a mate to settle down with and just build something with....have adventures with....
then die when its time.....
my parents and grandparents are getting older so that day is coming when im going to be on my own....its time for me to accept this and become content now...to stay calm when that day come
I know ill be alone one day and have to totally depend on me...so accepting that young seem wise to me...gotta be strong and stoic esp if u have kids and a wife ....its strength...men shouldn't be emotional....just have to accept things and put it on ur shoulder and push forward
