RE: Getting rid of the unique self: On how we are losing what it means to be human

in #philosophy6 years ago

Thanks so much for the comment! Yes what you say is true. We are in a time where there are so many religions etc., it is hard to think about how it would be without them. It won't necessarily be good. And yes, the mind etc., is very complex, maybe it is our misguided idea that it can be explained and understood which got us in this current predicament?

Sort:  

Good that you got some time to write such a post which involves the complex nature of human being, how it works with flourishing and all.

Ultimately people are looking for happiness, but the greediness in them never gets them to an ideal point where the search for more happiness ends. Those who have sufficient bank balance for the nest three to four generation generation want to earn more to add to the existing wealth, so when will their happiness ends. Those having one luxury car eyeing for one more to add so that his status in the society will be more.

But the sad reality is that despite enough wealth these people never experience the happiness they are looking for and ultimately leaving this world due to the unnecessary stress., is it.

So I loved this concept,

If there was a magical pill which caused one to live a life free from stress, promoting human flourishing, it would have been taken by everyone.

Lets wait for such a pill..

Yes, money is kind of the root problem. See my newest post for this topic! Thanks again. Keep safe.
