My thoughts and goals for a truly satisfying life
It's quite clear that the main goal of many people in the world is peace, tranquility and serenity.
And that's clearly what I'm looking for, something so simple, but it depends on so many factors.
The main factor for true peace in a person's life is freedom.
Especially financial freedom, because money reduces suffering.
And, of course, peace also has to do with not suffering and going in the opposite direction of pain.
You can see how things are intertwined here.
And then there's Emotional Freedom, which has already been partially achieved.
Its main ingredient is a pinch of conscious selfishness, this selfishness that brings into consciousness a new way of seeing the world, which is the pragmatic way and not centered on dogmas or extensive morality is what helps to shape this mind.
Ethics and morality are useful, they can be used to lead a peaceful life.
Ethics minimize the bad experiences one can create, creating less shame or guilt, which also means peace of mind without guilt.
It's useful for sleeping well and feeling good about doing good.
At the end of the day, it's just selfishness, but it's good selfishness.
Or you can use ethics to win votes with God.
But that's a very complex question that involves how much it actually benefits you and helps you achieve a life of peace and not suffering.
In fact, we all say and do things we don't like.
We're not real and true on the outside, we're fake because we have to use them to get by in life at best.
Like a boring job or an obnoxious relative that you have to put up with because you depend on them.
That's where Financial Freedom comes in, it's responsible for helping you achieve Emotional Freedom.
In other words, it helps you achieve true individuality and authenticity without pretense.
Too much money without Emotional Freedom will only hold you back.
You can spend your resources on very emotional things, like people.
Or you can delay your goals because of it; and either way, it affects you in a way that becomes a shackle that prevents progress.
Morality or ethics must be followed.
Very rarely have we seen anyone in high places who is completely good.
To get rich, you have to do whatever it takes, whether it's bad or good.
But it all depends on the degree, sometimes something is a light "crime", without much effect, so the tendency is to do it, hoping for the best result in the following days.
But other acts are simply repugnant to you because they cause discomfort and guilt (suffering), delaying the goal of life, which would be peace.

But let's get back to the sad subject here, forgetting everything I wrote above.
My situation is really very disturbing, can you imagine having to depend on people for everything?
I'd rather have peace as a monk if I can't have peace as a civilian, living a miserable life where I have trouble stabilizing myself in anything or creating anything innovative.
You see, I have prominent Uranus aspects, I'm not really one to stand up for people and be a shitty social climber, that's not moralism, that's literally pride and sadness at not having so many good qualities that would be everything in material progress.
It seems pretty easy to solve this, just do a 90+ day job, right?
Maybe, maybe I really will do these jobs, maybe I really will stop doing some meditation or other. And I'll put in some magical work instead, and then I'll solve this problem.
I think that's it.
I'm going to treat this topic more like a diary/questionnaire.
It's much better than cluttering people's screens with lots of questions. If someone wants to answer something, they'll have to click here and scroll to the bottom of the page.
They certainly won't be distracted by a random message.
