HAPPINESS  ................   UNHAPPINESS

WHEN A PERSON CEASES TO BE HAPPY,

DOES THIS MEAN THEY WILL BE IN A STATE OF UNHAPPINESS ?

Apply this to the self / not self question and you will see the middle path

It's almost midnight here .... don't ask existential questions now!!!!

ok guy's Something to mull over

vacation..............no vacation. if one takes vacation is one really on vacation?

sober.................not sober. if one is not sober is one truly drunk?

combine the two and you have to ask if one is truly drunk whilst really on vacation?

pondering now........ damn , the possibilities are limitless.

My happiness comes from my actions

loved reading the comments to your journal!

mad em smile/not smile...(lol)

happines and unhappiness are only 2 sides of "this" plane of existance.

they are the extremes.

if they can return to the "center" of the extremes, they can find true balance.

all others are out on a tangent..

(or in slang..."a limb of a tree" )

the real thing is in the root.

it is not pretty and overlooked by most people.

(they get dazzled by the beautiful flowers)

so many pretty colours!

look here!

look there!

(easily distracted from the root that is not so beautiful)

all real taoists know...: what seems beautiful is not really beautiful..and what seems not beautiful (to most people)...really IS beautiful.

Cheers!

You know reality!
