The Dilemma of Being
Lasting happiness is hard to find... For to find happiness forever, we have to conquer 1 thing... That is fear... And we have to acquire another thing... That is peace...
People who think they have nothing (by nothing I mean nothing in their personal definition... It may be wealth, it may be love, it may be academic results, it may be power... etc etc) fear they'll never find the something they have been searching for... Hence, they don't have peace... People who are contented with whatever they have may not be happy forever... For they have not received something which may change their perception... They have not encountered a certain something which may generate another kind of fear - the fear of losing...
When people have found something they yearned for so much, they start to fear... Fear of wealth going down the drain, fear of power being zapped, fear of failing exams and the fear of losing a loved one... Unlike the previous 3 examples, the fear of losing a loved one can be overcomed by loving more... The same can't be said for the other 3... I guess when the love between 2 people are so strong, nothing - not even death, can tear them apart... For they will continue to live forever in each other's hearts and the companionship will never die...
And only by loving more and realising the true meaning of love can peace be found =)
