The "what is"

I'm starting to believe that people, both friends and enemies are put here to let us down. I believe that most of us are under the impression that they will always come through for us, and that they will always keep us happy. But I think we depend on people entirely too much for a form of happiness, whether it is a lover, or an acquaintence, or general friends or even enemies, it seems like we have to have them to get by.

But this kind of happiness which is dependent upon other human beings is always
temporary and with humans so susceptible to error, we shouldn't put all of our eggs
in one basket. People have their family, friends, work acqauintences, etc and they will never be happy simply because they haven't come to terms with the "what is."

There is a certain kind of happiness which does not depend on the past actions of our friends, nor the future expectations of our friends or anyone. This happiness is correspondent with the ever changing moment of the present time. Every new second and every new minute is where the true happiness comes from, and it starts with the inner self. The past can not be brought back and the future is only what we make it to be, but there shouldn't be expectations and when we expect people to act or be a certain way, we forget the truth. The truth of WHAT IS, the current situation,
which will evolve or decease, but never will it go back.

The principal of "what is," is a great way to see life truly as it is. The concept of time becomes relative because there is always some sort of movement or progression and all of this reality is happening at once. It is together in a sense, but in another sense reality is broken down and compartmentalized into time frames, the future and the past. But why even do this? Isn't this antagonistic and doesn't it
cause conflict? Doesn't it cause dillusional ideas and expectations of what something or someone should or shouldn't be? When we set rules and regulations and systems, it seems like we set ourselves up for more dissapointments. Instead of appreciating life for what it truly is, the simple beauty of nature and its eternal order, then what else really matters in the long run?


Does it matter if you become a doctor, lawyer, actor, etc? Why? You are naked at the end of the day like every other human being and you can not in reality become anything else other then human. These labels and these expectations people have are so silly and they try to fit them into a time frame. We all make so many plans and we become let down later on in life when they don't work out, but they are so trivial in the first place. For if we truly look at the what is, the nature of reality, what is required and what isn't, then we see things in a brighter light.

The simple reality is that we all need the sun to rise, for the seasons to change, to eat, to sleep, to reproduce. But all of our hopes and dreams of love, of our careers, they fade away like everyone elses. They all come to an end one way or the other and then what? You cant take these trivial matters to the grave. The simple
reality of the what is continues to go on and life goes on. Life in itself, the act of being alive and observing life is beauty in itself, and nothing else is really required to make me happy.
