I think we have much more to learn with nature than the opposit. The nature around us(if we are not in cities, of course) shows and proves each new moment that life can emerge even at inhospitable places. What could we say about our lives? That sometimes it is faced as an inhospitable place where everything seems to work against us.
When things don't flow as we expect, we get sad. When people don't give us the hand we expect we probably get sad. When time passes, we get sad. ...and in this sadness background, most of the time we get frustrated. However, the background change when we stop a little to think about all the problems we are passing through. The surprising end can reveal that many of our frustrations stuck in events that we had to act but we waited for others instead. Fortunately, our life doesn't depende on the other choices... But it is something we spend long periods of life to realize. It is not all of a sudden.
This week I had the opportunity to read a wonderful thought by Nietzsche that changed completely my mind towards the frustrations of life. Let's take a look at it:
Nobody can build
the bridge for you to walk across the river of life, no one but you yourself
alone. There are, to be sure, countless paths and bridges and demi-gods which
would carry you across this river; but only at the cost of yourself; you would
pawn yourself and lose. There is in the world only one way, on which nobody can
go, except you: where does it lead? Do not ask, go along
with it.
Now draw your own conclusions about life.
I have drawn some...
Sometimes we expect more from the others than from ourselves. But nobody can live our life or, in other words, build the bridge we need to walk across the river of life... like said the philosopher. So how we can put on other hands our happiness... We cannot do it, because it is not possible, even we sometimes think it is.
Think about it!
