The headline alone would instantly grab people’s attention. The question would make some immediately say to themselves, “Am I tired?” or “Why are they tired? They have so much to live for and are just making excuses or being lazy and ungrateful.” Regardless of the stance you take it is a blatant fact that A LOT of people are quite tired of life. And they are tired for various reasons … or maybe most of them are tired pretty much because of the same. But are you really tired of life?
Tiredness or part of life
When I first discovered the article below, it was years ago during a time I was mentally undergoing some huge trials in life; I had been searching for a way to regain some meaning. A lot of the opinions of the author in the article are actually very meaningful. But this subject is a subject that is very touchy for many people.
It is arguable that people really either feel very tired of life or they found a way to not feel tired and obtain riches or success. The only issue for some who find riches is that they don’t find purpose or vice-versa. But then there are those who never find riches or purpose who appear to be in the majority. And then there are the rare few who claim that even while being disadvantaged they somehow found both. Understandably, this topic just creates disparity among others and will consistently fuel heated debates.
The great debate
The fact that debates can become so heated proves the validity of the question itself and can even expand it. Are we really happy with living? Or have we just found a way to survive while being trapped in the rat race? If the latter is true, the real question would be, “Then how badly do we want out?”
The one thing I’ve come to realize with many people who don’t feel happy is that it’s really because they feel trapped and fear living without money and out in the streets. These are logical concerns. But no matter the situation you’re in if you don’t do anything differently then you’re likely always going to suffer from the same problems.
No one said that change would be easy, which is why the article in the link below may be beneficial. While it may appear airy-fairy to some people, it could actually be the only way that someone may once again find meaning and happiness in their lives. The final question is: Do you have it within you to do brave things?
