0 Give All Take Nothing

People always want to have more so they take more. They become greedy. Little they know that it's the direct path of unhappiness. Sidha warned us long ago that the root of suffering is attachment. The opposite of that is happiness, detachment. Detachment means to give all, take nothing, fear and worry nothing, ignore pain, in short it's the way of power. In marriage, when two people need each other, they can only have conflict, conflict of need, they become needy, when they need they take. As long as one needs, one will be unhappy. In reality we need nothing, we don't even need life itself, not to say just pleasure, fame, luxury. Wise people do not think those are necessary for happiness. What necessary for happiness? According to Epicurus the hedonistic philosopher, they are friend, freedom, and wisdom. Friend can only just yourself, if you are kind, your life is peaceful. Freedom is freedom from want, worry and fear. Wisdom is knowledge to know what necessary and what is not necessary. Everything else comes from poor judgement. Further he said that needs can be categorized into two, necessary and unnecessary. Necessary for life: simple food, necessary for comfort: simple cloth and house, necessary for happiness: friend, freedom, and wisdom. His dogma is simple, life is easy, it becomes difficult because of poor judgement. Most people today aim to be successful, it means having much more than needed. Little they know it brings more misery than true happiness. They forget about life itself, they become the slave of pleasure. Their mind is full of worry, fear and dissatisfaction no matter how much they have. They always want more. If other people tell you what to wear, when to work, how to behave, you are a slave. They bribe you to forget your dream, they give you pleasure. You are in constant worry and fear because you don't have real power. Little power you have is given by them and it can be taken easily any time. You need them, they are your master. If you think clearly, you need nothing, not even life itself. Fear and worry are the sign of weakness of mind. You should live this life and die bravely. This is Buddha's enlightenment, life is suffering, and it's okay because you can let it go, take your own path to detach from wants and desires which are the root of suffering itself. Do not think that life is about pleasure vs pain, it's actually about pleasure vs power. Power equals happiness. If you take pleasure, you will be punished. Power is not conquering others, power is conquering oneself. Power is giving not taking, if you take, you are weak because you need, you are a slave, if you give, you are a master.
