Gloomy
thoughts, grumpy thoughts, nice thoughts, clever thoughts, stupid thoughts, wonderful
thoughts...Thoughts are just thoughts. They come and go and they are
seldom worth bothering about.
Your philosophy of life, on the other hand, is very important
paying attention to. It can ruin your life. It can also ruin other people's life.
So, what is
your philosophy of life really like? To find out you have to observe your actions,
not your thoughts.
Some people
claim that they Christian, but they do not turn the other cheek and
they store up treasures on earth.
Others claim that all humans are equal, but they use an indifferent tone of voice when they talk to the plain-looking and uneducated and they talk ingratiatingly to those who are attractive and successful.
Some advocate the benefits of positive thinking but they depend on antidepressant
medications to survive.
What is your actual philosophy of life? What philosophy of life you are living according to?
What comes
first? Pleasure? The importance of not being a nobody? To have an
identity, a title? To be knowledgeable of something, meditation,
sailing, literature?
What ideas do
you refuse to give up? What do you refuse to see?
Do you
believe that career climbing is important? Do you believe that the rich and strong are blessed? Do you despise yourself? Do you trust yourself? Are honesty, uprightness, and friendliness important to you?
Is it possible, do you think, to give up one's actual philosophy of life and start
anew, to be born again, without adopting another belief system?
Do you
believe that it is possible to live without a philosophy of life, or do you believe that it is a matter of replacing bad
ideas with good ones?
Do you
believe that the meaning of life must be created or discovered?
