[Discussion] Our wishes won't grant us true happiness?

[ArabianLuffy]

Wealth, harem, power, fame, immortality, wisdom, friends, peace etc etc etc.

Try to come up with a reason why such wish won't lead to fulfillment in this life. Today I finished the anime, Juni Taisen, and...
[SPOILER ALERT ABOUT JUNI TAISEN]

Spoiler

Warrior of the Rat, Nezumi is the winner, and he must speak his wish sooner. He thought of 100 or more wishes,
but seems to be always in conflict with himself whether what he wishes for would satisfy him or not. In the end he asked/wished to forget everything. I'm like "What? Is that the answer?" and it reflects on me. I was like "Hell I would wish for money. Money solves all problems, right?" But the natural sources on Earth are either enough or limited.
Depends on how the situation on Earth is like, but it goes beyond that. I really thought about it. Money should --
no it must solve problems.

Thoughts?

narcissism.

that's my thought on it.

Our wish can help others

Everyone becomes peaceful, happy and the earth gets unlimited sources. Even if you're not happy someone else is. Isn't that wonderful? Or you could ask for some magical powers.

Anyways even if you get the earth and everything in it you still will feel empty. Temporary happy yes, but that's it.

Why would you? Worry about yourself, haha. Everyone's too busy trynna meddle in what the other is doing, not looking after their own asses, expecting someone else to look after it for them. Everyone wants to watch each others asses these days.No one's in their respective places...they all want to pass their place, and wonder why their shit ain't coming together...

Ugh, materialistic. If you're not happy, why would it be wonderful if someone else is?That makes absolutely no sense. In this world, if you're SELFLESS, you're as good as NON-EXISTENT. You're no better than anyone, so therefore YOU should be looking after your own happiness, rather than someone rub the fact that they're happy in front of your own UNHAPPY face. Such a strange way of thinking, some of you...

You need shit, to help you get by. That's just it.

We humans are super complex, so I'll just mention a bit of it...

True happiness occurs when you find a balance in life, and you're happy with what you have, what you do, the people you're around with and overall satisfaction. This overall satisfaction differs for everybody. Some people are happy with having nothing because they value other things in life.

 

[Tyrance sasuke]

For me true satisfication is when you care for the emotions of others and go on your day after helping and making others happy. Doing things for your own will only create depression and sadness in the end due to a sense of dis-accomplishment.

Depends on who that someone else is. Not really, it's just your way of thinking.

 

[Brady]

The little things make you happy, the accomplishment of your dreams make you satisfied.

 

[Gunjan]

I wish to be Superman..... That will make me happy :| or BATMAN

a false way of thinking, is always a strange way of thinking to me.

Worthless people say things like that, sorry to say.

"I can't be happy, so I want to see other people happy"...living enviously and worthlessly.You WILL be envious!

@arabianluffy, [you're a muslim I suppose].what you said above are worldly happiness.Anything worldly is temporary and will either be gone one day,or we will lose interest in them(becuz here is not where we belong). We humen are perfectionists, but this world is not perfect and enough for our desires and needs.So, the only thing that can bring us true joy,is someone or something that is perfect.(you know what I mean by "perfect"). Follow the guide that has been given to us, and you shall get your answer.



وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَمَتَاعُ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَزِينَتُهَا ۚ وَمَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ وَأَبْقَىٰ ۚ أَفَلَا تَعْقِلُونَ
And whatever thing you [people] have been given - it is [only for] the enjoyment of worldly life and its adornment. And what is with Allah is better and more lasting; so will you not use reason?(surah qesas/ayah 60)

أَفَمَنْ وَعَدْنَاهُ وَعْدًا حَسَنًا فَهُوَ لَاقِيهِ كَمَنْ مَتَّعْنَاهُ مَتَاعَ الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا ثُمَّ هُوَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنَ الْمُحْضَرِينَ

Then is he whom We have promised a good promise which he will obtain like he for whom We provided enjoyment of worldly life [but] then he is, on the Day of Resurrection, among those presented [for punishment in Hell]?(surah qesas/ayah61)(my opinion: enjoyment of worldly life=/= happiness )

وَابْتَغِ فِيمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ الدَّارَ الْآخِرَةَ ۖ وَلَا تَنْسَ نَصِيبَكَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا ۖ وَأَحْسِنْ كَمَا أَحْسَنَ اللَّهُ إِلَيْكَ ۖ وَلَا تَبْغِ الْفَسَادَ فِي الْأَرْضِ ۖ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُحِبُّ الْمُفْسِدِينَ

But seek, through that which Allah has given you, the home of the Hereafter; and [yet], do not forget your share of the world. And do good as Allah has done good to you. And desire not corruption in the land. Indeed, Allah does not like corrupters."(*surah qesas/ayah77)

satisfaction is rock climbing, you wouldnt know whats at the next plateau till you get there. then when you get there, you see a bunch more opportunities and that theres room to climb even higher

true happiness can only come from death, which is the irony of life

 

[SIR HERDERP PRESIDERP SDO]

Oh yeah I know that anime, the one with the Zodiac theme.

 

[Konno]

You can't be wishing for your own happiness, wealth, well-being, and etc. If you do, you won't be happy.
You should wish for sharing all these with somebody else.
