Reckoning with Ourselves

Those who are at peace with themselves, those who have the courage to question themselves sincerely, do not get lost, or even if they are lost, they can find a way out immediately.

Sometimes one stops and thinks:

We think to ourselves. We think and question the life we ​​live. We ask ourselves: Where did we come from, Where are we and where are we headed now? We all know from our own inner worlds that the answers to these simple questions are not simple. Life teaches us all this.

Sometimes we get a thought, we think about whether I am happy. Sometimes we think it takes a lot to be happy. Just like the people we see on television, looking for a partner for their loneliness in marriage programs.

Stereotypical Prerequisites for Being Happy:

In fact, the recipe for happiness is clear for most of our people, "whether it be a house, a car or a retirement" is sufficient. These are stereotypical prerequisites. These three things, in general, are what the common typology wants to be happy.

It is true that some things are needed, but happiness is such a thing that sometimes even just a loving glance is not enough for a human being? Sometimes just a sincere touch, a sincere call is enough. People continue their search for happiness until they die. He tries all kinds of ways, gets to know new people and wants to get to know them. He seeks happiness in every new person he meets.

Sometimes he goes after beauty, he thinks he will be so happy. Sometimes they chase after material things, they dream that power and wealth will bring happiness. However, all of them are a search, but all of them are nothing but the state of not being able to see the truth.

Man Is Born Alone and Dies Alone:

The plain truth is this: People are born alone and die alone in this big world. Having people around when you die doesn't mean you're not alone. Isn't every person alone in himself?

That is the truth of life. We encounter many people around us who have assimilated this truth, who have actually completed the accounting they have made in their inner self, have learned to be self-sufficient, and therefore have achieved happiness. We see that there are also people who are self-sufficient and understand that happiness does not go beyond a loving glance. We witness that such people, unlike the majority, lead a more peaceful life.

Basic Facts of Life:

Basic facts of life: More beauty doesn't make you happier. More wealth does not make one more happy. The world needs neither very successful nor very rich people.

If beauty mattered, the most beautiful women in the world wouldn't be deceived. If wealth mattered, the richest people in the world wouldn't get divorced.

The world just needs more compassionate people. Not for anything else!

To compassionate, loving people. Just like the presence of compassionate and loving individuals in a family hearth. The seeds we plant in our families are therefore important. In a family where seeds of love and compassion are planted, love and happiness spring up. The peace and happiness in the family carries outside. Happy families cradle happy societies.

Personally, I am one of those who think that we should care about the healing power of compassion and love and that we should never miss it in our lives. Finally, we shouldn't be afraid to actually be unhappy. Sometimes swimming in the seemingly endless whirlpool of unhappiness can add a lot to a person. Therefore, we should know how to take advantage of the unhappiness that we naturally face a lot.

Internal Reckoning with Ourselves:

Unhappiness is a pain, when necessary, it is a confrontation with ourselves, an internal reckoning. We should not be afraid of getting lost in this whirlpool of life. Those who are at peace with themselves, those who have the courage to question themselves sincerely, do not get lost, or even if they are lost, they can find a way out immediately.

We know that there will not always be flowers on our life path. Sometimes there will also be bushes. Sometimes when we stumble, bushes can scratch our legs, and we can get a little injured. Whatever happens; In this worldly life to which we come as guests, we must be able to enjoy every moment. Internal reckoning without falling into melancholy provides us with this. That is the question anyway, “to be or not to be”.

Flow of Time:

When something goes wrong or we think about it so that life doesn't end, we want to stop time. But we cannot defy time, thinking that we will stop time. We have to accept the changes that time will make on us and learn to live with it. Time is just a friend of our life flow. We should not have a problem with challenging the years that were our friends because of water. Isn't it best to accept the way we are and live in peace with ourselves?

Isn't the saying "I saw many people without clothes on, I saw many dresses without people in them" is a beautiful philosophy?

Sometimes we will stumble, sometimes we will fall. Because we love to walk, we love to run, most importantly we love to live. Then we will love to stumble, which is a part of life, and we will endure. We will do the internal reckoning with ourselves why we stumbled. We'll try not to stumble again. But whatever happens, stumbling won't be the end of our lives. It will remain a natural part of it.

Sometimes, we encounter people and emotions that poison our lives more than necessary. It's possible. Is it okay to give up swimming in the sea because we are in danger of drowning? Is it okay to give up walking on a mountain slope because we have scratches on our hands, arms and legs? Is it okay to give up on living just because we live them? Answer is no.

Conclusion:

Happy moments, days, years be always with you. Living life as it comes. “You are the sky, what is happening is the weather”.

"Sometimes it's good to settle accounts, whatever the outcome, because that's why you and we are all human".
