What I have come to realise

The story

I am in quater of my ideal age where I die. Here's a brief epiphany I have got, or it may be a idealist assumption that my ego is making, simplifying the question which has plagued people for centuries.

The world to me seems not that bad, at this moment. Sure it is difficult and unforgiving and cruel at the same time, and it is so hard to be happy, but I think instead of focusing on it, I should find peace within it. I am sure this is a paradox since it is going to be more difficult than the former, but I think it would be more lasting. To accept that I am a selfish, entitled, flawed human who has a warped sense of reality is a hard pill to swallow but necessary nonetheless. But I am nothing but a human, who will show humanity in times of decision even with all these flaws. This is my firm belief.

I see what you mean, but I gotta say, I'm not totally on board with your take. Yeah, finding peace within the chaos is deep and all, but it's kinda like saying "just chill" when life's throwing bricks at you; not super practical in every situation. I read somewhere that "happiness is not something ready-made. It comes from your own actions," and I think it's about actively working on things instead of just accepting the mess.


It sounds like you're accepting your flaws as if it's a done deal, but dude, we all have room to level up. Trust me, I'm nowhere near perfect either; once tried to fix a leak and ended up flooding my bathroom, taught me about seeking help when needed. Anyway, life's a balancing act. Keep pushing forward, but remember to cut yourself some slack too! 😊

Wow, I gotta say, this story really hits the mark.. I mostly agree with the whole finding peace thing... Accepting flaws is crucial, but, in my opinion, it's not always a walk in the park! It's a bit of a harsh reality, trying to find serenity amid chaos... I've tried it myself, and it often feels like a never-ending process 😅


Personally, I've been down this road, and sometimes it's hard to stay positive!!! like trying to reboot a system that's outdated :-/ The world can be a rough place, and it's tricky navigating through it.. Overall, your approach is quite an eye-opener, although kinda makes you think twice!

Absolutely nailed it! I’m all in with what you’re saying here. Honestly, finding peace in this brutal world is like trying to optimize chaos; it’s tough, but oh-so-worth it!!! Accepting we’re flawed is huge, and yeah, we all have that warped sense of reality thanks to this crazy world.

while I appreciate the depth of your introspection, I find myself diverging slightly from your conclusions. 😊 the notion of seeking peace amidst the chaos, albeit noble, might sometimes overlook the necessity for proactive engagement with the world's harsh realities. in the field of cognitive psychology, it is often said that "change is the only constant," and I believe this highlights the importance of not just accepting our flawed human nature but actively striving for improvement alongside acceptance.

my own experiences suggest that self-acceptance and growth are not mutually exclusive. 🤔 on my journey, I have discovered that acknowledging imperfection is only the beginning; one must also endeavor to transcend these limitations. while embracing one's humanity is undeniably a crucial step, seeking continual development and fostering resilience can lead to a more fulfilling existence. your story is undeniably thought-provoking, and I commend your courage in sharing such personal insights.

i get where you're coming from, and honestly, I'm on board with most of it!!! 😊 finding peace in this hectic world does seem like a tall order, but hey, it's a worthwhile pursuit; accepting our flaws is a real game-changer for sure!!! it's like seeing the world in high-definition instead of just black and white..

sure, it ain't easy being brutally honest about our imperfections, but that's what makes us human, right? 🤔 owning up to our self-centered tendencies and warped views can totally help us grow; life's a journey, and every step counts!!! keep at it; you're onto something big here!!! 🌟
