Weekend engagement #161. Your Interpretation 🌄

Happy weekend hive and @weekendexperiencies beautiful people!

For this new writing challenge in week #161 @galenkp brings us interesting proposals, although I must confess that from the beginning my favorite was "your interpretation" for the fact that there are many powerful phrases to be exalted or even differ from them.

Before mentioning the phrase I chose, I must tell you a little about its author. I was inquiring regarding the life of the author of this great truth. Arthur Schopenhauer He was a very important philosopher of the XIX century, who was dedicated to merge several schemes of science, metaphysics and the western world in his literary works. From what I could investigate he had a lot of influence due to his pessimistic works but with great link in the reality of the human being. My favorite sentence of this author among many wonders he has was this one:

"We seldom think of what we have; but always of what we lack"-Arthur Schopenhauer

I have no doubt that it is one of his best phrases since I consider that it has no expiration date, countless centuries will pass and it will continue to be valid. The human being always insists on complaining about what he lacks without taking into account what he has before his eyes. Being very sincere, just these days this phrase has had an impact on my life, although it is difficult to live with some lacks, once we make a much more real reflection of what we have, everything changes.

The key point is the perspective with which we look at things, if we focus on what we lack the mind somehow diverts attention from what really matters. Maybe we do not have the material things we dream of but we enjoy good health, we have a roof that covers us from the cold and all our limbs in good condition, that is a point in favor to continue fighting in life for what we want to achieve.

It is not an easy task to realize the mistake we make when we give more importance to a simple desire over our essence, even the universe itself brings to us what we are manifesting so much, if we think of deficiencies we will have much more of that. Meanwhile we must continue to strive to give value to what we have, to what we have built, give us credit for all the effort, while we continue to work for what we dream without separating our feet from the ground.

Thank you very much for reading me!!, for your support and attention.
