The Philosophy of Today

The Philosophy of today? What is the philosophy of today in my world, philosophy in my world is the mere thoughts and ideas of what is occurring in our world to make it work. Nothing professional, and nothing really profound. I am after all only 15. This is simply a place to keep all my ideas tucked away nicely, and for people to put in their own ideas on the topic at hand.

Criticism is welcome, however it is not welcome when you include "Scientific" proofs against whatever the statement is, because science has a well built history of being faulty, and I am pretty sure that a good chunk of what we believe today is not true. Without further ado, the first topic.

You Must Not Seek It, Because You Already Have It, If You Know You Already Have It.

There are good feelings, and bad feelings. We need them both, for with one we cannot have the other, and with neither, humans have no purpose. People all want to feel good, whether that is given to them or not, all people want it. The question now is, how can people be sure that they will get goodness?

People throughout the ages have found ways of being happy, whatever they do they try and find a way to be happy. But I believe that happiness is truly only an element of the mind.

If people can control their mind into always believing only true goodness, we would only be able to feel good. This sounds a bit flawed though, because if we feel only good then that locks out bad again. So what is the method to true happiness?

I have come to the conclusion that if you reach for true happiness, you will not get it. If being truly happy is your life goal and will always be, then that is exactly why you cannot reach it. Since we set it as a goal of life, it will always be a goal IN LIFE. So what can we do about that? We have 2 choices, believe in afterlife and salvation in the world after life, and that being only true happiness, or we can believe that what we have is true happiness. Believing that you have true happiness on earth can only mean that you feel nothing but happiness, the bad still exists but it is tuned out and is in another world, away from your own where nothing but good resides.

If people believed that all they had true happiness, they would have it. We need to stop thinking of happiness as what we want but what we have. Everyone in the world has things to be happy for, and can try their best to make these things even better than they are, simply by believing that they are truly happy.

Hopefully that didn't make the heads of others spin more than mine because I am spinning for sure... Will revise the idea later when I am not so darn tired.
