In this blog post, I will write about why I think seeking anything is a bad habit and it is just that-a bad habit.
Some people call it bad karma, but I will just call it a bad habit.
When we ask ourselves what is the purpose of life, or what is the best way to make money today, we are essentially asking a very essential question that is important for our survival.
But if we ask ourselves why are we asking ourselves or others what the purpose of life is, then we will end up with a feeling, a deep desire or a fear after we have dug deep enough.
This feeling is supposed to be faced in my opinion. It is this fear that we need to dive into.
It is important to seek but this seeking is the cause of our suffering, in my opinion. Seeking money, fame, power, love, beauty, etc. is not bad but seeking them will create suffering.
When we seek we are acting out of habit. It is very difficult to not seek, even for a jobless person. Even a person who sleeps all day is seeking comfort. And when the comfort ends, he/she suffers.
That feeling that is before all questions, if dealt with and understood, can reduce our suffering and seeking.
I think that seeking God is also a cause of suffering. But if we don’t seek God we will not be free from suffering. And this is good suffering.
In my opinion, if we know the source of all seeking, then the seeking will automatically become more meaningful. And not knowing the source will trap us in a habitual pattern of seeking more things without satisfaction.
Conclusion
To conclude, I think we need to break from this bad habit of seeking and establish ourselves in something that is not related to seeking, maybe it is meditation, journaling or reading or writing or running or listening to piano music or any passion that we have.
