First of all I would like to say how sorry I am that Robin
Williams took his own life, he made millions of people not just laugh but laugh
at themselves, it’s a sad loss to us indeed. We can speculate all we like in why such a man
would have taken he’s own life but it all comes down to not being able to find
inner happiness within oneself I feel.
I shouldn’t put Robin Williams above anybody else who has
taken their own life but Mr Williams did bring joy to a lot of people’s lives. Many
people take their own life for various reasons, there is a huge list of reasons
but the main factor behind any of these reasons is one isn’t happy within one’s
life when one takes one’s own life. What
makes such a brilliantly funny man take his own life, what has made anyone who
has taken their own life unhappy? Relying
mostly on external sources to make us happy. It would seem Mr Williams most
probably wasn’t happy because of his last show was canned (cancelled); it looks
like it certainly added to his unhappiness. Making people laugh obviously made Mr Williams
happy, you could see it within his performance; he exuded this happiness because
he was making people happy. As any great
performer lives for he’s audience; this is what made him the happiest as it
does of any great performer.
Another great comedy performer is Jerry Lewis, it’s funny to
think he is still alive today and Mr Robin Williams is gone from us. It takes a
huge amount of effort to be such performers like Mr Lewis and Mr Williams but
it takes even more effort to stay happy when you are no longer making other
people happy. I tip my hat to these
great performers no matter what happens.
There is a problem in society, a problem we have created
ourselves in needing external sources to make us happy when all the happiness
we experience should come from within.
Many people who have taken their own lives relied on external sources to
make them happy. This is a problem that doesn’t need to exist if we train
ourselves to be happy through our inner selves. Does this mean we shouldn’t be
happy when being entertained by great entertainers like Lewis and Williams as
they are an external source of happiness? Not at all but we shouldn’t wholly rely on
these people to make us happy in the first place as they shouldn’t rely on
their own happiness in making us happy.
Why is inner happiness so much better than happiness found
through external means? Judgement, judgement
of ourselves, happiness found through the inner self doesn’t incur this judgement
as the inner self doesn’t pertain to judgment, this is why learning to be happy
through the inner self is more reliable. Once we bring in judgment in our lives,
we bring in a need for external sources to make us happy; this kind of happiness
is certainly not reliable.
We shouldn’t however judge judgement as being negative in some
way; it depends again on our inner selves of what judgment is pertaining too. The outer self lives by emotions, whatever makes us emotionally
feeling good or bad, whatever we have judged
as negative or positive. Many
spiritually aware people will stay away from negative people because they have
judged them so and if they have judged others being negative they must have also
judged themselves of being positive. This
is the outer self not the inner self, so how would the inner self perceive negatives
and positives?
Feelings without emotions, the inner self doesn’t rely on emotions
to give it feelings, it relies on the inner self itself thus giving us inner happiness through
the inner self without emotions. As soon
as you bring in emotions you bring in judgment. Many
people have killed themselves through this kind of emotional judgment as their happiness
no longer comes through their inner selves but from external sources. Yes external sources can make us happy for a
period of time but finding happiness this way is not reliable, as soon as we
judge, we are relying on external sources to make us happy.
The inner self feels and it feels to a far greater extent
than our outer emotional selves as our outer selves relies on our emotions to
make us happy, the inner self doesn’t have emotions but feelings which extend way past our acknowledgment. Once we give judgement away, the inner
happiness will fill the void of such judgment a hundred fold.
I hope the bellow link will help a few people in finding
this inner happiness, it’s quite basic.
