The world can be quite a chaotic place
for some people. If you have been brought up with acts of violence
and aggression all around you, you may find it nearly impossible to
come out of the negative cycle of harmful emotions. Out of the eight
basic human emotions, five are negative, two are ambiguous, and only
one is positive: happiness.
Though these facts have a dreary air
about them, the truth is that this knowledge can simplify things in
your life. You only have one basic emotional state to achieve.
Attaining this, takes focus and calming of the mind. Though you may
not be in a position to control your environment, you have the
ability to distance yourself from it, at least in your mind.
Once you do this, you may look at
things from an outsider’s perspective and even empathize with
people who are suffering the consequences of a reckless environment
just the way you are. The best and probably most gratifying work is
social work. Absolute selflessness is rewarded by strong and healthy
relationships and the materialization of the joy that has been caused
by you.
Consider such work when you are in times of trouble. Whenever you find your social environment difficult to handle, go to a home or school for differently-abled children. Human beings are social animals. Helping others allows you to feel a substantial amount of happiness because it is deeply ingrained in our limbic brains. Providing assistance to someone in need is as basic as eating or sleeping.
