Felt like being philosophical after some Roman-Review
:
The impressions of distress upon our will are counterproductive and unnecessary as distress, or rather the experience of it, is a choice of our will. Distressing items are by their nature outside of the will of a sound mind. Therefore, our will being those mental choices of which we are the masters, it is our choice to allow an outside force to cause distress to us.
Since happiness, or otherwise satisfaction, is that which drives the motivations of us who are in a position to focus on actualization, we should not permit our will to allow impulses and/or sensations which conflict with the nature of our desires (Such as happiness).
As Animals of reason, we are subject to a greater number of voids requiring fulfillment by our nature than most other animals. An earthworm for example requires nothing more than subsistence and the ability to continue its species in order to fulfill its natural design. Humans on the other hand cannot so easily meet the requirements of our natural frame. While a worm left with nothing more than a suitable environment, sufficient nourishment and complete isolation can satisfy its needs, a human being left in a similar situation would deviate from its blueprint by collapsing in both body and mind.
With the above considered we must be concise of our needs and chose first and foremost that which perpetuates our nature indefinitely with mind given to the full effects of our actions upon all other requirements of our natural state. Things such as fear and passion must therefore be closely moderated least they should impede our ability to fully analyses and mislead our decisions from definite satisfaction to the short-term/momentary illusion of it.
A self-sufficient mind is therefore the best way to ensure the fulfillment of our internal nature as we, as masters and soul proprietors of our will, may shape our impressions to meet our needs. As a sunset is not beautiful in-of-itself, we may chose to see beauty in it if that experience of beauty should satisfy our nature to achieve happiness through willfully chosen experience and perception.
