There are infinitely many objects and situations that make us to feel better, the life is as complicated as a mathematical millennium problem and any small thing that can help us is really appreciated. “The cosmos is within us, we are made of star-stuff, we are the way for the universe to know itself” [i] thus, since the beginning, the mankind has wondered about its purpose in this world and developed a lot of instruments to improve its residence in it, but it´s very easy to get lost in the little universe of superficial tools and the searching for that purpose is contracted to the basic thought of having it all. We are usually looking outside these precious things that we always have inside.
If you have the CR7 tennis,
you will be able to play soccer like him. If you drink a glass of that
carbonated soft soda, you will be the happiest person in the world. These might
be common ideas in many advertisements in last years, although the object
itself doesn´t contain the happiness (or the ability), it’s related to the
perception which we create in our brain when we experiment some situation, with
some objects, that makes it the source of a smile. Our mind is a powerful tool,
it can make a heaven of hell or a hell of heaven, thus the happiness will
depend on the things that are happening in our minds and perspectives that we
have built. That’s the deep way of getting real love, contentment, gratitude,
joy, optimism, excitement and pride, with a real knowledge of ourselves and
sometimes it’s named spirituality. There is a viral video on the internet of a
man who couldn’t turn on his car for going to work, so he took a skateboard and
was riding it to the job, drinking a juice and singing an old song, that was
enough to become the world’s king. Whatever can happen will happen says the
Murphy’s law, but If the damage in the car hadn’t happened, probably it would
have been really boring like an usual day and the good internal vibes of the
man wouldn’t have left.
We are here for
living and experiment a lot of things, and our mind is the mechanism that we
have for doing that, although sometimes it seems like to be against us. There
exists a vast universe inside us that we can explore and try to understand to
explore and live in a better way in the vast exterior around us. I think that’s
the key of actual happiness like individuals and essential parts of the society
which are constructing a better future and new purposes.
