Why are we unhappy?

Question from the Internet:

“What do you think is the root of unhappiness?”

“Happiness” is a sense of fulfillment, when I feel that all that I need, would want is perfectly fulfilled, I am in balance. In biological terms, we could say that “happiness” is when I reached the most optimal homeostasis in my existence.

Since I am not existing alone in this world, and most of my needs, fulfillment depend on outside sources, my happiness depends on my environment, how readily my environment can help me reach that perfect balance, homeostasis.

When we examine the different states, stages of existence, we can see that the most perfect “happiness” we ever had was when we were in our mother’s womb, where all our needs, lacks were immediately, perfectly fulfilled, and we did not even have to ask for the fulfillment. The moment we are born — the greatest “tragedy of human life” this stops, and even a baby already has to ask, signal to the parents about one’s needs, so the parents could take care of it.

And as we grow up, this difficulty to reach perfect fulfillment, balance becomes ever more difficult, especially in a society where each person cares only about their own fulfillment, balance, happiness and we all try to achieve this at the expense of each other through ruthless, exclusive competition.

This is nobody’s fault, this is how human beings are programmed, the unique human ego makes us feel our birth as a tragedy and turns all our life into a tragedy since by only focusing on ourselves we simply cannot fulfill our own needs and through our selfish, insatiable, exploitative attempts to accumulate everything for ourselves only we make life a misery for others as well.

As a result of our inherent nature, we all behave, function this way, knowingly, unknowingly to various degrees according to each person’s individual qualities, conditions. As long as we live life egotistically, subjectively, only focusing on our own needs and fulfillment, this will get only worse, especially now, when we evolved into a globally integrated, fully interdependent world.

The only solution to reach perfect fulfillment, absolute happiness is to rebuild the “Mother’s womb” state, feeling mutually, collectively for all of us, when on one hand we all become like an embryo in the embrace of a unique, rebuilt, reformed human society that is built on the template of Nature’s finely balanced, integral template, while we all also become the “wall, supporting structure” of this “womb” for others, through unprecedented, selfless, unconditionally serving, mutually responsible and mutually complementing cooperation.

This has nothing to do with our arbitrary human ideologies, philosophies, religions, this has to unfold according to Nature’s laws that govern integration, that sustain the general balance and homeostasis life depends on.

The 8 billion, unhappy, constantly fighting, destructing “cancer-cell” human beings have to build a special, single, living organism to align ourselves with Nature’s relentless evolution towards the most optimal integration of the whole system.
