Being Unbearably Unhappy
You must never stay at the station where you feel unhappy!
I have the true feeling of myself only when I am Unbearably Unhappy. ~ Franz Kafka
Life has a tendency to provide a person with what they need in order to grow. Our beliefs, and what we value in life, provide the roadmap for the type of life that we experience. A period of personal unhappiness reveals that our values are misplaced, and we are on the wrong path. Unless a person changes their values and ideas, they will continue to experience discontentment.
Some of the people who help people in trouble do this not because they are good people, but to forget their unhappiness in the unhappiness of others. Unbearable unhappiness can make a young person unbelievably mature! Pain is a yeast; anyone whose soul is injected with this yeast transforms into something hard, just like milk turning into cheese.
The biggest problem of a person who has no difficulty in ensuring his own happiness is this: The unhappiness of others! Because it is very difficult to maintain happiness.
We are unhappy because we are incapable of concentrating on the present, we feel the wounds of the past and we are fearful of the uncertainties of the future. Being unhappy and miserable is your choice. The mentality is destructive, and consenting to stay stuck in that state of mind is a blueprint for disaster.
You must never stay at the station where you feel unhappy! Unhappiness combined with inaction always creates deeper unhappiness! The solution is very simple: Leave the station; trust the motion because only motion will take you to the new stations.
Lies, greed, pettiness, and ugly emotions ensnare a person. We are free people who construct our own cages that we allow to suppress our vital instinct to live a wholesome life. Truth-telling demands an awareness of what sins cage a person in. Truthfulness also commands that a person fess up to the role.
