When I feel unhappy, it turns out there is a expectation lingering somewhere in that unhappiness. I could justify it by saying I want the best for people and want them to be healthy, but if it doesn’t happy I feel unhappy and sad.
It’s not something I have to accept. There is a work around. Maybe the problem is not with the world or trying to control it but maybe it’s the expectation of things outside of our control.
I can want to get a six pack and I can do things to influence it but I really cannot control it as there are variables that are outside of my control. If everyday I do not get a six pack, I feel sad then I get more used to being sad then having a six pack.
The thing here is to accept the world as it is. Accept that my default maybe not to have a six pack, to accept people will be unhealthy or make choices you do not agree with. In that space, can you find a way to care and be happy?
