The misfortune of man

philéô sophía enigma

The void brought man into the world.

On this planet that man defines as the blue planet, in other words, planet earth. The void said, I need creators.

Let’s create problems for them, to which only their creativity will find a solution. Man appeared on earth. But let’s see, what is this crappy place? How am I going to feed myself? What should I eat? Damn, can someone tell me where I am? Anyway.

All I’m trying to tell you is that humans have only one function, which is to create. The void gave him this task to accomplish. A problem arises at first glance. Man tries to find the solution. Unable, it makes him unhappy, every day. Yet every day they get up and try to solve the problem without success, but it is their desire to find the solution that they continue without asking questions.

One day a star enlightens him, the solution is in front of him. Rejoicing, joy, happiness, a sense of accomplishment. This moment eventually fades after a few days, boredom takes over, becomes unhappy again.

When unhappy, man constantly questions his existence. What’s the point of living on this planet, what’s the purpose, why make us live this experience.

Time passes. The unhappy man comes out of his boredom and discovers a new problem to solve. Man is convinced that when he has the solution to this problem, it will be absolute happiness! He is convinced of it and wants to relive this experience of happiness that passed quickly.

The man then gets to work, determined to solve this new problem. He spends days and nights thinking, experimenting, failing, and starting again. His determination is unwavering because he is convinced that the solution to this problem will bring him eternal happiness. Successive failures only strengthen his resolution because he remembers the immense joy he felt when he solved a problem in the past.

Finally, after much effort, he finds the solution. An immense feeling of satisfaction overwhelms him. He feels powerful, accomplished, alive. He tells himself that this time, the happiness will not fade away, that this time, it’s different.

But, little by little, reality takes over. The joy of success fades and gives way to a feeling of emptiness. The man realizes that happiness is not found in solving problems, as gratifying as it may be. He realizes that his quest for happiness through problem-solving is futile and that he must look elsewhere.

It is then that he understands that happiness cannot be found outside, but only within oneself. He realizes that happiness does not depend on external circumstances, but on how one perceives and interprets these circumstances.

Armed with this understanding, the man decides to change his perspective. He decides no longer to see problems as obstacles to his happiness, but as opportunities for growth and learning. He decides no longer to seek happiness outside but to cultivate it within.

He begins to practice gratitude, to appreciate the small things in life, to live in the present moment. He learns to let go, to accept what he cannot change, and to change what he can. He learns to know himself, to understand his needs and desires, to listen to his heart.

Little by little, the man transforms. He becomes calmer, more centered, happier. He realizes that happiness is not a destination, but a journey. And it is on this journey, by learning to appreciate each moment, by cultivating gratitude, and by accepting what is, that he finally finds the lasting happiness he has sought for so long.

The man finally understands that the void did not give him the task of solving problems, but the task of creating his own reality, of creating his own happiness. He understands that his true mission as a human being is not to solve problems but to realize himself fully, to live fully, to love fully.
