Living The Christ - Sharings

What is human being? A concept?

We are always trying to conceptualize things and, for the most part we try to make it as complex and insane as possible, in such a way we loose sight of what it is.

Let me take the example of being HAPPY. The dictionary says that being happy is "enjoying or characterized by well-being and contentment". Yet we have made a complex network of associations IN ORDER to be happy, we've invented many agreements and beliefs that at the end the purpose is to be UNHAPPY.

Isn't it crazy? We've invented this ocean of dependencies out nowhere in order to be happy, and yet happiness is something we feel, none can feel for us. To have access to something as great and as simple as being happy we've invented a network of barriers just to make it as difficult as possible.

For instance, being happy for us can be:

- Having assets (a great car, a great house)
- Having a great body
- Having a beautiful wife or husband or kids
- Being sucessful at work
- Being admired
- Having great sex
- Being popular
etc etc etc ...

We've become addicted in imposing conditions to our happiness, we've also become effective in not being happy was by saying that happiness depend on something outside of us. What a big lie and pretense we've made to hide our power of being, of being happy.

Being IS - and "IS" is out of time and circunstance!
