Have you created the life you want?

Have you created your ideal existence?

it is not possible in a democratic society, in a non-virtual reality

No, nor would I want to. It would be pretty dull.

The ideal ith alwayth in the future, but you can achieve ever-failing/ever-renewing nirvana on a day to day basis - if you stay awake and aware.

I don’t really like the word “ideal”.

But I am constantly working for the life I want to live, not the life other people want me to live. Some people might call that idealistic, I don’t know, I still don’t like the word.

Igor, I missed yah!

In many ways my life is good but not ideal. I mostly do what I want to do and when I want to do it. That’s a good thing in my book. In order to fully achieve my goals I would have to obtain a lot of money somehow. That’s not happening anytime soon.

Meanwhile, I may be moving away from that concept of the ideal. My career choices in life have created a situation whereby I have not and will not make a lot of money. So, I have “taught” myself, in a Buddha sort of way, to have fairly low expectations, or at least to have open expectations. That means that I have come to enjoy the little things in life.

So, it could be the case that the ideal life is one where there is little concern for how things should exactly go. Ask me in another five or ten years and I’ll tell you how it’s going.

I think a better question would be: Have you made the best of your resources/surroundings.

Obviously my ideal life wouldn’t include watching commercials and seeing fucking assclowns deciding the fate of the world. But I can’t really know anything else, so I’d say I’m fairly happy with my living situation right now. Knocks on wood

Now everyone take a second and appreciate what you have.

Nithe to be back.

I wasn’t going to mention it, but have you seen a doctor about that yet?

The tragic thing is that I’ve created the ideal life for someone else.
The ironic thing is that I’m getting accustomed to it.

About what…? :wink:
