How to Live Life to the Fullest
Most people are unaware as to the actual purpose of living. They desperately seek its continuance, its satisfactions, pleasures and enjoyments. They are unwilling and do not know, care to become aware of their potential or the destiny awaiting them at the completion of their earthly existence. They do not comprehend the nature and significance of how much meaning their every function, emotion or thought possesses.
They are mentally unaware and lack the mental capabilities to grasp what manner of being or form of existence that such an occurrence; a circumstance or a fact that is perceptible by the senses called life is possible and capable of happening, existing or being true without contradicting facts, laws or circumstances.
The majority of people hold tightly to an inaccurate view represented by false, misleading and a very confused notion concerning the actual forces and processes that produce and control all the phenomena of the material world; the essential characteristics and quality of people and the actual fundamental disposition of a person’s soul which they readily associate with the spirit. Due to their lack of insight they suffer. Due to their lack of insight, they steadily multiply an interest in being engaged in misery, and are blinded by the bondage of ignorance. All of which makes them unreceptive to see, feel, touch, and hold the illuminated light of what’s real; wisdom.
This planet earth in which we exist is a world set in opposition, an order that demonstrates and emphasizes the various differences surrounding our daily lives. The life we live as humans, men and women, is a life of opposites. There is the night and the day; the wet and the dry; the soft and the hard; the fall and the spring; the winter and the summer; male and female; some are small, others are big. Some are young, others are old. Some have just begun to enjoy the breadth of life, while others have exhausted it. Opposites attract and everything in life attracts and repels. The sun will set at night only to rise again in the morning. As a shooting star runs away from another in its attempt to escape runs into another. The earth and its inhabitants are a sphere of activity and interest. A world of continually occurring changes, eternal persistence, a given portion of space with unceasing motions, perpetual movements and actions that we exist in. There is always one form of energy that has the greatest controlling power of influence, then another.
Most people spend too much time thinking about things that cannot happen or have no point and this constantly shifts their point of thought leaving it altered and unproductive. This is the true and actual experience of this life we call existence that has caused so many people to lose focus and left them in the darkness of their own mind. Those who do not see, choose not to see, or refuse to open the eyes of their mind have no idea of the transformations, the realities of actual existence that takes place right before their very own eyes. Because of the bondage that blinds not only their mind yet also their eyes they make it impossible to avoid and prevent from suffering, so they come to grief.
Due to their lack of knowledge, wisdom, and understanding they disregard the necessary conditions, the experience and the conditional experiences of life. In this world people seek nothing but to improve their situations and not themselves. So they strive for the continuance of agreeable sensations, satisfactions and pleasure.
As humans, it is our desire to live which is so much more overwhelming than our instincts to live. This is so because in so many people’s lives their actions dictate their desire to live is actually their unconscious desire to die. Because of this imbalance, most people live contradictory lives in which causes them an immeasurable unthinkable amount of misery. This being the case, it is apparently clear that in this world of complex contrast, most people are living physically in opposite states of pleasure and pain, sorrow and joy, good and evil.
Yet the delusion that they have created for themselves is a temporary illusional escape from the reality of their existence. This being a mental state causes them to enter into an area of their mind where they do not have to use the faculties of thought and reason or to elevate their consciousness, but to remain in a condition of stagnation.
The most basic wish of any person is to keep the breath of life swinging only on one side, the side of life. This breath of life has filled so many lungs, has built and owes its existence to a perpetual cycle of swinging without ceasing to stop from one side then back again to the other. If this process was ever to stop, it would cease to be the natural order of existence and no longer exist.
To exist is to live; to formulate ideas, to perceive and distinguish psychic and physical sensations, to articulate and give expression to words, to touch, to hold, to change in disposition of temperament and mind, to walk, to run, to come and go, to make friends or enemies and to make choices in which no matter the decision or outcome the decision-maker will always benefit the most. In refusing to do so, all one has to do is to simply acknowledge, welcome and accept death without truly experiencing the gift of life, living.
Therefore, one should ever be conscious that life is a fabric strongly mixed, blended firmly together of the necessity for the presence finely sewed by stitches of pain, pleasure, misery and joy make up the fabric of negative thought or action has its existence in the actuality that one impregnates and gives birth to the other.
In order for a person to truly enjoy life and to come to the most complete condition of being is more than just not accepting the positive and avoiding the negative, but to embrace, cherish and hold the two together as one. However, being that the majority of people are caught in an allusion and continuously deceiving their self and ignorantly confused to the actual experience called life, they diligently try the impossible, by wishing to produce as much pleasure as possible and to be able to hold on to it. This resistance only causes them to deny the authentic existence of the meaning of living life.
Reality is what it is and was never intended to be anything else. It has a place and knows its real existence. Seeing that many have lost touch with and distorted their reality, now find it beyond their power to systematically examine the advancing unknown shadows of adversity which quickly yet gradually but surely swallows them at the end. The bottom line is this, it is well reminded that the most prevalent of these necessary conditions of actual existence. That there is and there never will be no pleasure that is not tainted with the blood of pain and even further no happiness that can be attained without struggle. That being the case, anything that is not brought to life by struggle is just mindless existence.
Ambition, love or greed… Whatever it is that blindfolds these pleasure-seekers thinks to be positive or negative is none other than the figments of their imagination. Products of self-delusion and ignorance to the iron chain of psychological imprisonment to which they are mentally shackled.
Life is beautiful, live it to the fullest.
