Option B

 Joy is a discipline

We often do things that makes us happy, but are we truly happy? We scroll through social media after work after a day of hectic work. Sometimes, we would go out with our friends to hang out, to wind down. Sure, it can be relaxing to some. But deep down, are we truly happy?


Happiness is a state where we can hold our peace. Sometimes we do things that we think makes us happy, but most times people mistaken their sense of boredom as being unhappy. They feel like the they need to fill in the gap within themselves to only feel happiness. This is what I label as, Chasing the Highs. Sure, it can make us happy in the short term, but later, a void wraps within our soul. We feel unsatisfied, we feel like it's not enough, and we want more.


I argue that, happiness isn't something that we should chase. It's something to be earned. And by being earned, we experience long lasting peace. For example, we can take notice of the joy we feel throughout the day. By making a conscious effort to finding out happiness, we will experience lasting peace.

Is it because I need to change my thoughts? Is it because.. I just need to accept as it is and move on, maybe worry about something even greater than whatever it is now?  I feel like the brothel visit has made me less passionate for my goal. I can feel like I'm losing the purpose of writing. And it sucks. And most importantly, is it even healthy that I'm having t...

Be the better version of yourselves.

 Often times, I feel like the need to rush through things, to get things done with the shortest amount of time. This feeling often backfires, and I would always go back to porn because I can't feel passionate about reaching my goal, or I would always feel content and bored, and have a thought like "it's been some time since I have played erotic games, wouldn't hurt to play for a short while." But this feeling couldn't be trusted. I should distract myself from it by doing other things. And if I ever go back, it's my subconscious thought that leads me in. My conscious thoughts should stop myself from doing it. But anyways, I'm writing this article because I would like to note down some things that I find helpful from reading a book called "The courage to be hated".  It says to find your own tempo in progression life.
