Is happiness a good factor that you are doing good?

[ShardMare]

For example theres a 16 year old stage orange guy. He has friends, he plays in a football team, plays video games, has a girlfriend, watches tiktok, doesnt study, watches porn. 

He feels happy in life. Maybe some of us would say he could do this and this. For example teens who watch Hamza Ahmed would say dont watch porn, no tiktok, get high quality friends, make a business etc.

But is the 16year old guy good? His consciousness is evolving, embodying a level. Thats what matters? If you feel happy that says ur on right track no?

If your suffering then go back or go on to the next level? Im not saying big moves like from orange to green but like 1 step f.e. try medktatjon or do this or that

They will be happy at that age, and it's fine, but the problem comes when you grow up, not feel as happy as you were earlier and start complaining to God

No. Do what you're most happy with.

@An young being idk its weird. Its like the question of giving sugar to a kid. Its not good for his health but psychologically he is improving. What do you think?

 

Sometimes i thought to myself why dont spiritual or enlightened people teach more and so on but after all im like the world is fine. This is how people work

 

Same with spirituality. How does not everybody does it? Or have even a single clue it exist? This is just how people work

Don't chase happiness, chase greatness.

Everything that is not earned will turn on you eventually.

What I think is that a balanced approach will do wonders. He can do everything that you stated as fun activities and still study well. For that, the importance of education must be realised as much as the importance of mental health. In the end, all will be balanced, it's just what kind of experience we choose to have: in this case,

1.extreme happiness with zero effort for a short time followed by misery for a long time or

2.extreme sadness with 100% effort for a short time followed by happiness for a long time or

3. satisfaction all the time with no spikes in happiness or sadness.

This is just an example, the balancing act is far more advanced within the mind than we imagine.

What I believe is, there is nothing special we need to worry about with regard to correcting the world or make it a better place, especially if we wish our mind to be peaceful. Naturally, the world will move towards unity and less pain, which a part of every individual secretly wishes for. We can do small feasible acts of  goodness with compassion without worrying about the world becoming a bad place without this and that.
