“We're all fundamentally unhappy.”
The Chemical Buddha couldn’t quite figure people out. Most seemed to focus on what was wrong, rather than what was right. Others seemed to worry more about when the good times would end, rather than enjoying them while they were going on. TCB figured unhappiness was man’s natural state and happiness, therefore, must be the unnatural state. He surmised that we must be fundamentally unhappy. But he couldn’t quite reconcile that with the fact that he spent his waking hours feeling happy. Of course, maybe that was because he was either drunk or stoned most of the time. When he first starting promoting his alternative lifestyle/religion, he made this one of its pillars. But, no matter how unhappy it seemed to make them, most people choose to cling to their current lifestyle.
What do you cling too? Does it make you happy or unhappy?
Would letting go of it free you up for something else or have you convinced yourself it won’t make a difference?
