But then, what stress is, is defined by what it does...not the situation
it occurs in.
It's not the situation that creates stress, but what one thinks about the
situation.
What is negative is an opinion.
Some people thrive on what others would call extreme negativity.
Like, if it weren't for my addictions, why would I even bother to wake up
in the morning?
Isn't a health nut addicted to living to an extreme?
Is not the persuit of health a stressful endeavor based on the negative
idea of corking off?
But then, Living is always fatal.
One can even be addicted to the chemicals that result from hating ones
job. After all, didn't that person structure his entire life story so he
couldn't 'justifiably' quit?
Remember the old song Wry Whisky? [intentional mis spelling]
..if whisky don't kill me...I'll live till I die.
At the bottom of it all, We're probably here to stone out on our various
chemicals..pick a reason. Any reason will do if it does. If it doesn't,
another reason gets picked that will.
Pick a chemical, any chemical..uppers and downers. The substances and the
suppliers are one and the same.
Internal/external source..all the same.
In fact, most external sources work by triggering internal ones...or
mimicking them.
The roller coaster goes sideways.
Depression is a powerful drug effect. Why is it that so many depressed
people seek out depressant drugs?
Is it so they can explain and justify the effect while denying the desire?
I was severly depressed once. I couldn't find a reason to get off the
couch even to eat or go to sleep for weeks. I just sat there staring off
into space, day after day.
Well this SUCKS! No fun a'tall!
Then it occurred to me that it was something I was 'doing'...and for no
good reason. I was, in fact, doing it because I was slam out of reasons.
[Which is a reason]
Well, I figured, If I can do all 'this' for no reason, I must not need a
reason to do anything else.
I crawled to the mailbox on Sunday. What a pointless effort THAT was!
But that's the whole point.
....don't need one. ....and even if I don't have a reason, I do. Not
having a reason IS a reason.
Lord help those who need 'reasons' to be happy. {The Lord does, in fact,
help them do what they want to...without prejudice or opinion. If the gift
of free will were not free, it wouldn't be a gift.}
BTW, there's absolutely no difference between a reason and an excuse. A
reason is just an excuse you accepted as true.
If you don't need one of either same-thing, you won't ever be dissatisfied
with the one you wind up with.
It just does what you do with it. It means nothing on its own.
If you find yourself picking excuses to be unhappy, you must be happy
being unhappy. That's the only reason one could possibly use to not pick
another excuse and do something else with it.
On that note, being unreasonably happy is unbelievably easy. It takes no
effort at all.
That's why it's so hard.
People believe that effort and energy is required to do
everything...including not doing things.
But 'not doing' is impossible. Energy "IS".
..and reasons are like flies in the sky.
Coffeee...more coffeeeee.
