CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Recently, I have been thinking about the proper way to live life. It has become apparent that life is full of suffering, which is quite depressing, but there is a way to live in which nihilism does not creep. I believe that would be to live life accepting responsibility, which is a sacrifice, but it assigns meaning to life. I think that this is a very powerful idea. If you accept those things, then you will not find yourself hiding from pains and seeking only pleasures, but maybe you can confront the pains and compose something better for you and those around you.

Cain and Abel

I spoke briefly about the story of Cain and Abel. In the first half of the story a few things happen.

Abel is making good sacrifices and is looked upon favorably by God

Cain is making lackluster sacrifices and is not looked upon favorably by God

Abel’s life seems to manifest in an idealistic manner

Cain’s life is full of struggle

Cain becomes resentful and after being told by God to make better sacrifices, he decides to kill Abel (Abel is almost like the embodiment of the ideal, so in a way he is destroying what he could be if he makes the proper sacrifices).

The second half of the story deals with how to respond to an act, but the main points I wanted to convey lie in the first half

  1. You can choose to live a life without sacrifice, but it probably will be a life without meaning i.e. even if you have all the material goods you could ever want, they will not be actually worth anything, since you decided not to make a sacrifice and because of this, there is no meaning in your life.
  2. Making good sacrifices is your best chance to have your life manifest itself as close to the ideal as possible. It will not always work, but when it doesn’t, you just need to reorient your sacrifice. For example, I recently took an exam. I made some silly mistakes that will cost me, even though I restricted things I value (time with friends and family). However, all I need to do is reorient how I used that time and I will likely not make the same mistakes in the future.
  3. Pick the life full of meaning. Be responsible, make sacrifices. You will be forced to confront the unknown, gloom, pain, but you and the others around you will be better.
