Description
Find my place in the world
Have you found your place in the world yet?
Who are you? To find the right place in life you must first find an answer to the most fundamental question of all.
Who are you?
Close your eyes. What do you see today?
Now imagine yourself 10 years from today, what do you "see"?
And 20 years from today, what do you see for yourself?
Where might your place be?
What do you "see" for the future, which place is the right one for you?
At the beginning there is the question about the own I, who am I, where do I come from, where will I go?
If you waste your life, you may end up wondering why he/she wasn't more mindful with his/her lifetime. The clock keeps running, moments pass by, as time goes by.
Where do you want to be, in 10 years, in 20 years, what will be, what is your place? Do you want to find that place?
A good way to find your place is to follow the Buddhist teachings, because Buddhism focuses on the human being and his free choice. This is a very unusual concept for Europeans, as the teachings of the monotheistic faiths are strictly hierarchical in nature.
You are in the driver's seat, you are "master" of what is happening, so how could everything be connected? What could be the deeper meaning of existence, what structure "fits" you?
Question marks offend us, future interpretation skills are now required. Where is the journey going for you?
I understand you, human behavior can quickly get out of control, but according to Buddha we are not "guilty". The idea of the circumstances of our existence can seem very threatening, just where will we go?
After reading this article, are you ready to think about your place in the world?
Thinking about the philosophy of Buddha can be very liberating? Dying is inevitable, the wisdom of the Indian prince is still valid to this day.
Where do we come from?
Where will we go?
Is there more to life than just satisfying basic needs?
A world that is to have room for the public cannot be built for only one generation or planned only for the living; it must transcend the lifespan of mortal humans
- Hannah Arendt - German-US political theorist - 1906 to 1975
