There was a lecture about King Solomon. It was not really a history type but something like “finding true happiness”.

 

The lecturer told us that King Solomon is the wisest and richest king in his time. He has thousand of wives and concubines. A king is respected and followed by thousand of people. What a guy to be envy by us? He has everything the Charisma, Wealth, Power and Knowledge. But the question was …IS HE HAPPY?

 

The lecturer shared us certain Scriptures or Phrases from the Bible that show King Solomon was not happy at all even he had everything. I began to take interest and listened with all ears [I was nearly going to take a quick nap ^^ ].

 

I realized after the lecture, that to be someone who has unlimited wealth could have more problems. To know everything give you worries and sometimes hurt.

 

Speaking of knowing everything, I experienced once. I was surfing on the net like downloading songs and reading blogs [in SC]. When an Idea has come in my mind [sorry it’s a secret cause you know it was like…invading someone…you know].

 

Because of curiosity and to know something, I was hit by reality. I knew something that I shouldn’t know. A truth that I regret to find that made me felt the pang of pain. But it was done…

 

Now I knew that “to know the truth” there is possibility that you will be happy or the opposite one. I’m glad I’m just a normal person cause if I am genius or rich …maybe I can’t handle it…the circumstances…

    I agree..

    certain things in this world has a certain owner. It will give happiness to the rightful one and give hardship those who are not fitted to own them. Such destiny..

    Garfield the cat once said, "It's not the having; it's the getting." Someone else said, "Now that your dreams have all come true / What is left in store for you?"

    I would prefer to always have something to strive for than to have everything I want. Living becomes more precious when you have to make decisions about things, make sacrificies when you chose something, and have goals that are not too far out of reach. Every year I have things I want to do, places to go, things to get. Having something to strive for, to yern for, makes living more interesting.

    I think the key to a happy life is to learn to be comfortable in who you are. Don't hide, let it out. Scary at times but well worth the risks.
     
    If you are comfy with yourself everything else will fall into place because you accept wherever you happen to be in life at any particular moment.
