Everything is a wonderful paradox
"Man is a mystery. It needs to be unravelled, and if you spend your whole life unravelling it, don't say that you've wasted time. I am studying that mystery because I want to be a human being." --Fyodr Dostoevsky I want to quantify infinity. Huh? You might ask Well, we already do this in math. We can apply limits to infinity: "As x approaches infinity, this happens." The definition of a derivative is just the slope of two points, but they approach infinitely close to each other. We can't perceive infinity, but from the impossible comes the derivative. So why not apply this to everything? Why not quantify everything? Existence is a paradox, existence is infinite. We-- beings of reality-- are finite. Yet out of nowhere, comes life: paradoxical and explainable, all at the same time. A wonderful paradox. The process of quantifying infinity is called philosophy. And you don't need to be any "good at it" to be considered a philosopher, because you already are. You just need to live life with an open soul, ready to learn and adapt. “If you wish to glimpse inside a human soul and get to know a man, don't bother analyzing his ways of being silent, of talking, of weeping, of seeing how much he is moved by noble ideas; you will get better results if you just watch him laugh. If he laughs well, he's a good man.” --Dostoevsky Today, I laughed quite a bit. I laughed out of stress, and then out of relief. And then I laughed at the absurdity of it all. Life is good

Choosing to be happy
Choose to see the world as beautiful, and your life will be much more fulfilling. All of us live the same lives, but we choose to perceive it in different ways. Today was one of the most exciting days of my life. I woke up refreshed, went to the gym, and then went to practice. Then, I played at my violin recital and it a lot of people came up to congratulate me. When I was a kid, I would look up at the older musicians with fancy suits in admiration. Now, I am one of the older musicians, and I think I inspired at least one other rising violinist. Then, after I got home, I did something really dumb. I've been talking with this girl at my school for about a week, and today I asked her to be my girlfriend (out of nowhere). Keep in mind that we've only been talking for a week and haven't even gone on a date. I thought I was about to get friendzoned, so I just put on a movie and accepted my fate. Who would've thought that she was feeling the exact same way? So now, I'm gonna take her on a proper date instead of jumping the gun 🤣 Moral of the story: You can approach life either from the perspective that it sucks, or you can stay cheerful no matter the situation. I was kicking myself for messing up so badly, but it turned out to be fine in the end. Life is definitely more fun if you accept it for what it is an just enjoy. Otherwise, it's just misery, and who wants that?

To get deeper understanding of life ~research 1
When we collaborate research with the truth then we get more closer to that understanding behind the phenomenon we are studying. It could be either understand in terms of neuroscience, medicine, eating habits and everything let's take example - if two persons working at same place and one of them does meditation and exploring inner peace with spirituality on daily basis and know what is the truth of life he is comparatively more contentmed in life then a person who just sleep for physical rest, or do yoga or any other activities to make himself happy but he always wanted more and never satisfied with the life. To know what that truth is and and what that spirituality is just text (TRUTH).

Does Sadness Really Dominate Happiness?
Ok, today was one of those days that I really don’t like to have, and I don’t even know why I have them. I was sad, but I can’t pinpoint a reason for being sad or mad. There might be a cause, but no clear reason for how I’m feeling right now. Like, idk. My day started as one of my best days—finally getting the thing I’d asked for months, even if it was at 4:40 AM. It was awesome! The morning went well, but then something happened (the cause), and from that point on, I lost my grip. I don’t know why I’m feeling sad or mad; there’s a cause but no reason for my reactions. But that overwhelmed me really badly—so much so that even multiple pieces of good news couldn’t lift my mood. From that early morning win to getting into something I wanted, nothing seemed to help. And now, even nine hours later, I still feel this way. I don’t like it, and I don’t know how to stop it because I can’t even identify what started it. Idk, does sadness really dominate happiness this much? "Remember when I used to joke about being a tiny kid? Now I feel smaller than ever, hiding in a luggage of my own thoughts."

Sadness does not dominate happiness. Happiness does not dominate sadness. They are both sides of the same coin. You cannot have one without the other. In fact, I am glad that sadness exists, just as much as happiness. I am glad that the coin exists
The perserver
It is not the strongest species, or the most intelligent, or the most reproductive species that survives. It is the species that perseverates. --Darwin Hard times come, and you can't do much about them. Bad things happen to us, and we, in turn, do bad things to others. Just look at the war in Ukraine: both sides are full of young people, not much older than us, each fighting for what believe is the right side. Guns, artillery, grenades, are terrifying. We become numb to the casualties of war, because it is the only way for our conscience to live with war's horrors. Here one moment, gone the next. "In war, there are no victors." Yes, this line is overrused, but it is the truth. War is terrifying, and even though I have never come close to one, 2D pixels on my screen displaying the GoPro footage of trench warfare are enough to leave me shocked, saddened, and confused. War, greed, savagery, is the truth that we as a species must live with. In this way, there is a war waging within each of us. This is the price of being the most intelligent, most apex predator on the food chain: when there is no prey to kill, we hunt ourselves. Usually I end these on a good note. Today there is none. Good and bad do not exist after human's wars. Only

@Daniel Y War is just the amalgamation, representation, of everything man tries to hide from. Greed for power, lust, hatred, scheming. We would like to pretend that we are angelic at heart, but in truth, we are spiteful and dangerous. I guess the only thing we can do is to embrace it all. After a w ar, the only thing we can do is rebuild and try to remember, despite knowing that memory will fade and it will all happen again. Thank you for your insightful reading
