Leo's post about happiness

[Tudo]

Leos posted a text in his blog that says that working won't make you happy, you can be happy just doing nothing. So what is the point of doing anything great in life? Why should we have children, create art or do anything meaningful in life? What if he's wrong, and do certain things in life can actually make you fulfilled ?

@Tudo Nothing you can do will fullfill you. There will always be a now what?

Everything you do is to run from the now what?

People have kids to have a 20 or 30 year long adventure away from now what?

People create statues for 15 years away from now what?

Once its over there is always something else, but behind that something else is the now what?

No one likes to sit there but a spiritual person lives where everyone is running from.

When the person dies they will be forced into that position of now what? and they wont like it.

All doings are nothing doing. Doing is done, no doer required. Batteries not included. This is running off of it’s own unlimited power source. This work is of the greatest peace and happiness, already carried, perfect, without further need to feel anything less or more than this simple base level effortless being.

So death forces people into a mildly annoying state of boredom? Well shit, that’s nothing to worry about at all.

@Emotionalmosquito Yes but a long time. 

Like you wake up in that state and then you enter that state on sleep.

Sort of like you become a floor that no one touches or walks on for eternity and you are aware the whole time.

Eternity just meaning a really long time, like how if you couldnt keep track of time 80 years is an eternity.

Like sitting there for 80 years without a sun coming up or going down or waking up and going to sleep or blinking.

This is a great realization, but it can also be somewhat dangerous to survival.

@Emotionalmosquito This state is your primary state. Anytime you get up in the morning and start moving you are running from this state. You are in this state all the time its just sitting there. You can see it when you close your eyes.

One day you get up in the morning and theres nothing there and you cant start again. And you just gotta sit there for however long it takes.
