Foolish Happiness
There's a great quote and message that came up from the recent activity following the release of the new 'Peaceful Warrior' movie. It conveys the notion that 'only a fool is happy when his needs are met'.
This could be one of the single most important concepts to understand in terms of happiness. It's one that we discussed at length on our own 'Happiness' presentation, and this quote here is another way that sums it up in a new way. To have the same basic notion defined in a slightly different way also helps to further free up thinking and shake loose a few more ties of a less than positive viewpoint.
"Only a fool is happy when his needs are met." - Dan Millman
In our discussions we termed it 'free from envy and craven desire', and there are a few reasons why this is promoted as a fundamental wisdom, not least of all as being a part of a capacity to live in the moment.
What we are really seeking and desiring, of course, is freedom. Freedom of mind and freedom from the doubting ego.
Further to this, everyone will have their own 'take' on things, so we will leave you with this quote to let it reveal its wisdom further in your own mind, and allow a space for further discussion of this topic as it will surely be a big area of discussion for its own expansion, sharing with others, and mastery.
