Humans - Horror or Happy?

 Hello there, so today's is not about any tips about money or emotions or anything. It's just about my own thoughts about certain things and all of those things are about humans. We humans, why are we like this? Why do we like to fight? Why do we like to get angry, jealous of seeing other people's well-being? Why do we take all things the wrong way? Why are we one step away from the wrong kind of emotions? Why don't we understand the true meaning of peace, love and humility? 

Now, the main reason for us doing things like these is our own mindset. And I hate the fact that shaping our mindset in the right way and working on it is the least of our concerns. Nobody talks about it despite the fact that it's the most important thing for us to solve our problems, be it any problem. The worst of the problems can be solved by changing and shaping the mindsets of people. Now we think that we are adults, we don't need anyone telling anything to us. "We know everything". The thing is, we don't. The only thing we know and do constantly is hate. We show we care but we don't. We have given importance to things that aren't important. Do me a favor and sit back to think about how much time we spend on our mental peace? (buying materialistic things and passing time is not spending time on mental peace). The most important thing in one's life is his/her mental peace. We don't work on it. 

The most interesting thing I find is how fast each one of us go to being angry from calm. Now I know there can be situations where one can lose his temper. But why in front of everyone? Why not in silence? We can take 5 minutes to lash out, but only when we are alone. Things can't be solved by getting angry at someone, even if it's his/her mistake. We don't know this because we have never tried another way of dealing with a certain situation other than anger. 

"Those whom god wishes to destroy, he first makes him angry" - Euripides. 

Another thing we do is to think we want to rule over people. Now I just have a simple question of WHY? Why do you want to rule? Why do you want to have the headaches of many people? If the ruling were to be made for truly doing good for people, then there wouldn't be any problem but we want to do it by force and to show that we are RULING. There is one quote that I'd like to share here - 

"The world would be a better place if people started believing in the power of love instead of love for power" 

There's also the Wars. Now, wars don't necessarily mean the one with ammunition but the wars that we fight with ourselves and with people for no good reason. I'd like to share a thing without picking any sides: ' humans are the only living beings who spill blood for a piece of land'. I hate this fact so much.  We create so much mess to satisfy our ego that has been built by other people. And the fascinating thing about war is that there is no end. 

There are several sayings about wars that tell us that it's very wrong. 

Such are - 

“Only the dead have seen the end of war.” ― Plato

“Listen up - there's no war that will end all wars.” ― Haruki Murakami

“All war is a symptom of man's failure as a thinking animal.” ― John Steinbeck

“Dad, how do soldiers killing each other solve the world's problems?” ― Bill Watterson

The things about fighting can be understood by the above quotes and I put up these quotes because me writing about various things that led to war and fighting might offend people with orthodox thinking. Now some people might say or think after reading it that 'he's a child, what does he know about great problems'. But if thinking 'things can be solved just by keeping less ego and having kindness, humility and empathy' makes me a child, then I don't want to be a grown up after all.

The only concern is to explain that all things, no matter good or bad, happen because of people's mindset about dealing with situations. So we really should start working about it. There are various things we can do to start working on our mindset. 

1. Read EGO IS THE ENEMY - Ryan Holiday.

2. Read books.
