Well, now my turn has come to think about the meanings. About the meaning of life, about the meaning of activity, about the meaning of inaction.
Once in the same company I started a conversation that I love blind dates - well, there is, as it is, a lot of romance for me in this. To which one young man says to me: “What if you don’t like it, do you waste time on makeup, clothes, preening, just to come and say I don’t like you? Waste of time.
Damn, what then is not a waste of time in our life?
Anyway, where is the world heading if people believe that the time spent on relationships, or even trying to build relationships, is wasted time. But what about the pleasure of the process?
Personally, I think our world has become too focused on results. But the result gives a momentary satisfaction, when the process gives satisfaction for a large amount of time. And then it is not surprising that an increasing number of people complain that they cannot or do not know how to enjoy life.
Because our society has shown us not the place where, however, they get satisfaction. It is not received from the very fact of buying a car (or rather, it is not received for a very long time), but is received from the process of driving it, from the process of earning money for it. Then it's fun. Otherwise, it is easier to just go and kill yourself right away than to live with the illusion that a new car (apartment, house, dacha, spouse, work - emphasize the necessary) will make you happy. It is not the result that makes us happy, comrades, but the process that we perform in an effort to arrive at the result. And it is important to remember this and be able to enjoy what we do every day. Otherwise, why then live at all?
