Good evening!
Several days ago I had a wonderful chat with one of the EC members and I got the thought (that is still in my head till this time) "Where is my real life" and "What is my real life"? Are the things I do every day in my house and at work my life? Or did I imagine that all those chats, works, friends, family could be called the real life?
From the other hand, if all those things mentioned earlier, disappear one day, what will remain? Only you, your thoughts and your perception of the surrounding things. So if I may make a conclusion, life is your own perception of the things around you. And these things include your family (you could be born as an orphan), your work (you could be jobless), your friends (you could be a patient of an asylum), etc. These are only your life decorations and what is a permanent thing is "yourself".
I guess the life looks like a messy room where we should make a general cleaning process :) Sometimes we can do it for 20 years and sometimes for the whole life. All memories must be at one place, all desires in another, all feelings are separated from far too intellectual thoughts....
Where is my mistake?

NH,
I hope that all other parts of body are ok ;)
Different tongues have different tastes, this concludes our conversation and my Hands are up :D.
May in the kitchen , thanks, sunny! :) for sharing your point of view!) So life is what we have in our heads - I mean the diary picture images of our real experience.
NH, the thing is that I didn`t have such an intention ;) I suppose you didn`t have it too, did you?;)
To mind mind, a person feels boring if he`s a boring person itself. It means that you have to work at yourself and develop your intellect and interests and hobbies.
As to your comparison, that honey catcjes more flies then vinegar, well I saw no flies on finegar, a few wasps in honey and a lot of flies on the sh...ops!) I guess your flies our different to ours ;)
I like discussions and I like when people point the questions and see the different point of views and they don`t hide in the bushes if their opponent has some questions ;)
So, NH, if you`re ready to continue the discussion, always welcome. I don`t promise that I`ll write you social acceptable texts and thoughts....but I`ll try!))))
you and your arguments haven't changed my point of views either :D
What if no one remains but you? How many times have you seen a person living alone bored to death? I have seen it for countless times.)))) Finding life is yourself is just like solving a maze with no solution ))))
I don't like indulging in views battle :D For me, different folks have different strokes and convincing someone is as hard as to beard a lion in his den :P and as honey catches more flies then vinegar, i better off present my views in honey coated sentences. (believe me, I'm a hard nut to crack, i won't submit to your statements :D )
1) And who told you that your perception is limited, NH ?:) How did you define it?
2) You and your arguments didn`t change my point of view.
I`m not against that fact that you should help people, give and share emotions with them. You didn`t get my idea. My idea was that you mustn`t see and find yourself in others and other people aren`t your life. .because if they disappear - does it mean that you also disappeared? No. What will you do? Find another people in order to live for them?:)) Nooooo!!! What I suggest is find yourself and your life in yourself and accept it. And don`t try to find yourself in others. Find yourself in yourself and live peacefully in society.
As for your quote about narrowness and great mind, to my mind the great mind is the mind that can hold a dialogue/discussion with a lot of arguments and questions and with a thirsty of knowledge ;) But as usual, it`s just only one side of the medal :D
p.s. NH, I like good discussions but without personal offendings ;) and without words like "We are all good chatters here and you`re the only arrogant and bla bla bla" :) I`m here to point the questions, get the answers and see the experience of other people.
Thanks for answering ;)
Don't put me in the list of the critics :D
I will disagree with you on this, "To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others" how rude does it feels, asking others to live as one wishes to live will rather be considered selfishness. Life is not our own perception cause there is a hell of a difference between how things look and how you see them, our limited perception may not be enough to define others. A great person recognizes the smallness and narrowness of his/her perceptions/thoughts/actions and he/she learns that how his/her smallness, his/her pettiness has endangered his happiness. On the other hand, A little person hides his/her pettiness and narrowness behind illusions of strength and greatness, he/she perceives the surroundings in ideas of his/her own thus firmly believes in the misunderstood ideas of his own perceptions.
So I think life is not living for oneself, its living for others.
Apologies if I am being offensive.
What about this? Our comfort zone is our family, our full fridge and our nice appartments, meetings with friends and so on. What if this comfort zone will disappear?
Ednardo thanks :)
