Contentment

Most people are searching for contentment in their lives or they are living is a state of blissful ignorance. People for the most part try and follow a doctrine whether it be Judaism, Christianity, Islam, Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, Secularism, Capitalism, Socialism, Paganism or Satanism to achieve solace or contentment. Many people think that by believing in the doctrine itself that they can achieve inner contentment. What many fail to realize is that the goal is not in the doctrine itself but in following the guidelines set out by the doctrine. Merely following the guidelines in of themselves will not achieve the desired effect either. To arrive at a state of contentment one has to make the guidelines their own by the process of rediscovering them for themselves.

Most if not all people have doubts, anxieties, fears and or phobias about themselves and or the universe about them. This is largely brought on by the uncertain nature of the future and or their own abilities and veracity. While the universe and events may seem chaotic it does seem at least superficially to live by it's own self imposed rules. Yet there are no rules and uncertainty is the true nature of the universe and the attendant doubts, anxieties and fears have to be dealt with on this roller coaster of a ride called life.
