When Life is a ? Mark

[Negeen]

College? Meaningful Employment? Marriage? Kids? Happyness?

Uncertainty...Anxiety... Anger... Surge of undescribable emotions.

Sounds like you need an outlet for your emotions, singing, blogging, painting or shooting rocks with a revolver.

Lol. I think this place is an outlet for my emotions.

Hi Negeen, I've become a great fan of Ajahn Brahm's videos on YouTube, take a look at youtube.com/watch?v=s7awYTT...(Not working as expected?)

If nothing else it's worth it for his sense of humour. It might not be to everyone's taste but I certainly got a lot out of the Buddhist philosophies on life. He used to be a Theoretical Physicist so isn't quite the stereotypical monk!

The human mind doesn't come with an instruction manual, so we can easily get ourselves into a state where emotions of anxiety, depression, uncertainty, anger etc. make our life hell. Anything that can help us avoid those pitfalls is worth a look.

I hope you will forgive the following observation if I've got it totally wrong, but your first line looks like a plan for life. Do you necessarily have to do things in that order with the end result Happiness?

Put Happiness first on your list and maybe the rest will fall into place? Enjoy your journey through life and you'll be far less affected by those emotions of uncertainty, anger and anxiety.

Ohh, enough of this philosophizing, I'm off to find some chocolate! (it makes me happy).

I wish you well,

Dev
