When we are young we follow our heart and are happy and cheerful. When we grow older, we want a future, a career, a desk and become monetized as an entity and view our stock in economic terms. Here our minds take control of our lives and love goes out of the window. Then we become insecure about our future and unable to comprehend the swift changes taking place around us; then fear predominates our minds.
Hate and fear which are more powerful emotions conquer our love, and slowly the mind controls our lives. Duality rules our lives as the mind is itself a paradox, it is logical /illogical, rational/irrational, good/bad, hate/fear and life is a roller coast ride. Even though we attain a troubled middle-age, despite our riches, high social status, and physical prowess, we feels restless and unfulfilled, and harbor a spiritual void that manifests itself as an inner voice crying out, hoping to discover what the voice wants, we must return to the heart.
Now we realize how as children we felt once more, how simple a thing is happiness; climbing trees, playing, believing in our friends, a bottle of Coke ,or a piece of cake. Now middle aged weary of the world, we once again seek peace stillness and stability. Bliss is a glass of wine, a roast chestnut, a succulent omelet, a wretched little brazier, the sound of the sea, nothing else. And all that is required to feel that here and now is happiness is a simple, frugal heart.
