Eudaimonia


What’s the first idea that comes into the general population’s minds when taking a photo, is to smile. A smile is ubiquitous in photos. Photos are meant to be a physical representation of a memory, and who wouldn’t want to have a photo of them smiling, in their album? A smile is a colossally powerful expression; even a non-living thing like a photo can augment your serotonin levels. Basically, it is proof that “happiness”, truly is a universal language and every human being wishes to make it their own querencia. However, such can be achieved. Do, acknowledge the fact that a lot of work would be required from you in reprogramming your subconscious mind.

Many, are living a paradoxical life. They seek happiness, yet their respective demeanours are a quintessence of misery and sadness. It is generally accepted to be mad or frowning for no valid reason; if you are seen smiling nor laughing for a reason that no other human, except you, comprehends…then you are deemed mentally unsound. Such is tremendously hilarious.

I solemnly swear that whoever can come forward and inform the general population that he sells happiness, would supersede the current “world’s richest man" overnight. 

Irregardless of our disparities, we all seek happiness. An inextricable fact. 

However, how many truly delve deeper to ascertain the true key to happiness nor fulfilment? Many humans are ornery, yet they play “utterly flabbergasted” when they seldom meet people who offer them an affable approach. Befuddling, I say! 

The biggest calamity, is the fact that our subconscious minds were programmed to adopt and embrace the mentality of entitlement. Apparently, we are so convinced that all the rich people owe us, the government owes us. An example, would be all those people who lambast their fellow Africans who have attained a portion of wealth, for not sharing their fortune with the “have-nots". Allow me to be blunt, a wealthy man doesn’t owe you shit! Why would you want someone who has worked harder than the ordinary human who squanders every 24-hours they get, to donate a portion of their wealth nor send the poor man’s children to varsity? The question we should be asking ourselves is, how come we all have 24 hours in a day, but these individuals seem to achieve more than we can ever dream of achieving? Why can’t we affably approach them and kindly request them to share their method because requiring them to donate money, will never take us anywhere far nor bring us to their level. Money, is never enough! 

What is happiness?

Can anyone provide a lucid exegesis of the concept?

Happiness, the way eye see it, is acquiring a pure soul. Being water…Be water!

Water is pure; however, it can be affected feasibly by external aspects. You can immerse concentrated juice in water and attain a diluted juice. The fruits also have liquid substance in them, which will divert us back to the process of planting seeds and the process of germination. All the water that was being used to grow that tree. The significance of the process of photosynthesis, cannot be ignored. 

Therefore, if one can apply their cognitive perspective in attaining true understanding of this concept they’d ascertain that in order to reach your crescendo, you need to invest more than all you’ve got. Water, light, heat, air, consistency and more than you can think of; Are all you need  to reach your goal of creating a tree that will produce fruits to feed the nation. The same goes with the process of attaining Eudaimonia. 

However, for us humans, it is more tricky owing to the requirements of attaining the success we desire. The secret is to master your within and ensure that the without is not potent enough to affect your inner peace negatively. You must reprogram your subconscious mind to work in a way that will utterly be aligned with your goal of reaching Eudaimonia. This means whatever people think nor say about you should be utterly irrelevant to you. Your devout obligation is to ensure that your within is in a good state in order for your without to be engulfed with positivity, optimism and all kinds of beautiful. 

Reaching the state of Eudaimonia means being in utter harmony with your inner being, mostly, you must master your subconscious mind…

The objects of fear

The great Bantu Biko , once said that fear is an important determinant in South African politics. In fact, that’s what all governments use to contain the civilians. Fear, is not the power that one attains, but the power that he is given by the ones who fear him.  Allow me, to quote the legendary Biko: “It is a fear so basic in the considered actions of black people as to make it impossible for them to behave like people---let alone free people.” “One must not underestimate the deeply imbedded fear of the black man so prevalent in white society. Whites know only too well what exactly they have been doing to blacks and logically find reason for the black man to be angry. Their state of insecurity however does not outweigh their greed for power and wealth, hence they brace themselves to react against this rage rather than to dispel it with open-mindedness and fair play.” “It sometimes looks obvious here that the great plan is to keep the black people thoroughly intimidated...

Resurrection

Christians would think of Jesus, first, when this word is being mentioned. According to Merriam Webster dictionary, it is the rising again of all the human dead before the final judgment; or the state of one risen from the dead. It is, simply, about revival nor the process of renewal. In Christianity, Jesus Christ was crucified and resurrected on the third day. In the African culture, resurrection comprises a nexus with ancestors nor the ones who are considered deceased or late, on earth, like Christ. We may find resurrection being elucidated in a variety of ways from disparate perspectives and, mostly from religious perspectives. In the ancient Greek religion, there are many instances where the concept of resurrection gains enormous relevance. Memnon, who was killed by Achilles, was resurrected.  Achilles, after being killed, was resurrected by his mother, Thetis. Asclepius, was resurrected and altered into a more colossal deity, subsequent to being killed by Zeus....

Not free as a bird.

Perception of reality is, often deemed realer than reality itself. "I want to be as free as a bird." a cliché that feels new, everytime it's being uttered or when our auditory tools cross paths with this ancient, yet immortal utterance. "The other side of the grass looks greener" another famous aphorism, but I prefer Marc and Angel's quote "If the grass looks greener on the other side, it might be life reminding you to water the grass you're standing on." Who came up with this idea that birds are free? Or, maybe an idealist looked at how birds look stress-free and he thought to himself that they're even able to effortlessly flee from their problems, without realizing that the bird has their own adversities. Imagine being a bird and you haven't been finding any worms to feed your offspring, and if you do you have to battle other birds you cross paths with on your way back to the nest, and you still have to stress about eagles who ...
