I have been thinking deeply about greed lately.
Sexual desire, desire to sleep, and appetite are truly indispensable desires.
But at the same time, I think they also have a magical element that can destroy us if we have too many of them.
If we could control our desires, wouldn’t life be easier? I think the answer is Yes.
I was thinking all the time that if we could control our greed, it would make our lives easier or something more to become a richer life.
There is a psychology that Freud solves, that personality is formed by sexual desire, and it is indeed sexual desire and a very great desire.
It is not the only reason why men do all the things they do. But they have them in order to make women feel good about themselves.
The ordained Buddhists and Christian gurus are very stoic in their sexual behavior. But it is necessary for everyone?
I have decided to aim for something in the middle.
Because religion and teachings are wonderful, and there are many elements to take in, and I always learn from them.
But I have recently realized, as I have been transcribing my thoughts and outputting them in this way on my blog. That I have been thinking of all the external information elements from religious or someone’s opinion from internets are not a match for me.
I mean that something is still don’t know all me myself with my potential. That is why all the external information elements doesn’t match for me. And It is not maybe for every single people too.
For example,
I have read a lot of information on the Internet that says;
- If you do this, you will gain muscle.
- When you do this then you will be popular.
- If you work hard more and more, you will get more money.
- When you do this, you will be happy.
Thankfully, it has become very easy for me to receive knowledge that I didn’t even know existed.
But on the other hand, it can also lead you astray.
I don’t really know if the information is right for me or not.
If you want to know it, then You have to actually try it out.
Eventually, you have to make changes and rethink things in your own way with it.
It is very low-risk to try to follow someone else and imitate them.
But it is not 100% correct in the end.
No matter what the great man teaches, there are certain things that you have to do.
“You have to actually do this.” or “If you do it this way, it will work.” There is no such thing in this world.
It is all up to you to make your own choices and that is the most important thing.
And as a result, to be in the middle.
Not too much, but not enough.
But not enough is not fun either.
Too much love is too heavy for the other person, too little love is too boring for the other person.
If you have too much sexual desire, you will commit a crime, and if you have too little, you will become a man who cannot express his love.
Too little or too much appetite is detrimental to health.
If you have too much for sleep, your body will go crazy, and if you don’t sleep, your head will go crazy.
Think of it this way, I thought, “Ah, the middle is good.”
I’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all about balance.
Balance is very important. not for everyone but most of all people will keep balance is good.
The best position for me is in the middle.
It is neither right-leaning or left-leaning.
This is just my story, and it may not apply to everyone.
I am a person who moves like an animal, developing my own sensibility and controlling greed with human reason.
By doing so I am excited every day.
Since I learned that, I like myself more. I feel better than ever.
Buddha said that life is nothing but suffering.
If you are full of greed, it is suffering.
If you have no greed, life is suffering.
It is comfortable to be right in the middle of what you want.
You only live once.
Let’s enjoy every moment of it.
Thank you for reading.
