I’ve found as I get older most of the raw emotions that I had when I was younger have been sanded away a little. The highs aren’t quite as high and the lows aren’t as low. I remember not being able to sleep the night before I would be going to a video arcade to play Pac-Man, Tempest, and Crazy Climber. I really haven’t been able to replicate that overwhelming excitement of looking forward to something. It’s not that I don’t get excited and super pumped before a big event, it’s merely that I know there will more great things in the days ahead. I finally realized that my results were being more effected by my expectations that what actually happened. With that reduction of expectation I seemed to have lost the feeling of envy as well.
I’m not sure if its because I am content. Or maybe its because I know all the things that someone has that I wish I had also comes with baggage or other problems. Perhaps I realize I don’t need very many things to make me happy. Or finally its because I am so happy that I don’t feel anything can make it better. Whatever the reason is I don’t envy anyone or any thing. For the first time I can be happy for what others have done or accomplished without putting myself in the picture. I’m still self centered but I don’t consider that bad. It’s my body and my mind and that’s what pretty much leads all thoughts and actions. With kids and a spouse I’ve learned that I would give up anything personally to make them happy. That another can be more important than self. Sharing in the success and happiness of others only makes my life better. Everyone could always use another source of happiness and there are millions of people out there that would love to share it with you. Well at least a few thousand

Have a name at auction and need more exposure? Send me an email. We Charge $10 per name per day. We may be able to help. If you have an auction you want to promote, email us for details.*All names chosen by us, Shane and Josh . (ie you click through and purchase a name you like) or an occasional paid listing. Everything we say is based on our own research or is opinion. Do your own due diligence. That means look it up yourself if you don’t think the stats or our opinion is correct. We hand choose the names but we are paid to make this list by both the auction houses, individuals that are auctioning names, and Godaddy affiliate links. Keep that in mind and only buy names that YOU think are good.
You have achieved Zen Shane.
Yes I think we lose a bit of a sense of wonder as our priorities change and we become ‘comfortably overwhelmed’ with the daily grind. It’s not all bad because emotions, which are more of a basic unconcious instinct, are dulled/suppressed ready to be supplanted with feelings which are deeper and enduring, requiring concious effort to develop/unfold. It’s like love and infatuation — infatuation being an unstable and short lived ’emotional’ euphoria, and love as the enduring reward of councious development. Infatuation-emotions want to be transformed into love if they’re to endure and not self-destruct and they thereby become resilient and stable structures. We can replicate this in other situations like a framework. It sounds corny because the word love is misunderstood. I equate it to a deeper sense of understanding/knowing and therewith the connection to the thing (love has many forms e.g. love of family, partner, animals, world, friends, neighbours, etc).
The sense of wonder we had around e.g. Christmas or other special time as a kid is dulled, but we need to grow-up — most of us are overgrown children and not in the good lighthearted ‘youthful-spirit’ sense, but of immaturity e.g. whining, tantrums, innatentive, uncareful, hasty. We can learn to really appreciate things for their true values which are contained in love as a spectrum of wonder, amazement, contentment, growth, freedom, peace, harmony, etc. The natural wonder-like inspiration we’re programmed with as children needs to be (re?)established conciously as an evolutionary goal of human-life so we can master our own lives (i.e. ‘grow up’) as creative self-responsible individuals. Critical/logical thinking is key to discerning between right/wrong, good/bad. Feelings are a guide only especially if they’re underdeveloped. Belief, idealogy, philosophies, self-appointed guru’s or masters — these are hurdles on the road to self-discovery, self-realisation, and real truth discovery. We find our own power and we can never be weak.
That’s my bit of autistic spiel, it just helps to work through my thoughts and clarify my own understanding at least.
Jack,
Truly appreciate you sharing and taking the time. Always love hearing ideas and experiences of others
