And if you are feeling tired and unhappy, then it means that your system of ordering has come of age, and a new one is required. So you may need to let your subconscious have more freedom through meditation. But otherwise you are doing good!

On the being tired part. You don't think they appeal to people?The level of brutality and obscenity in our screens is satisfying a need for people otherwise it wouldn't be tolerated.The question is what need is it? Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Ted Kaczinsky calls it the need for autonomy. Destruction is the easiest way of being in control.

Ted's philosophy seems to agree with Sigmund Freud's thoughts.In his book civilization and its discontents,he argued as we become more civilized and organized individual freedom's are stripped away leading to discontent. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Living in a world in which you never know when the craving will strike! From chocolate to women/men!
There's no way of finding happiness.

When you are born, you discover that you have needs, and they can't be met when you want them to be met. When you cry out, your mother tactfully avoids you lest you get spoiled.
So you try to find a compromise position. But too bad. Your needs are increasing by the second.
By the time you are an adult you have a backlog of needs yet to be met. These are the fuel for working hard, being competitive, finding Mr.Right/Mrs.Right, and 'making it'.
You walk around and see a beautiful woman, pang! your hidden hunger arises. You see this, and a hunger is aroused.
You become so helpless! So unhappy!

I agree with that.To add on to that there is also the disappointment caused by fulfilling your desires which is causing so many people to feel empty. You set out to do something when you reach there it's not what you thought it would be.I think one solution is to lower your expectations and higher your appreciation of the things you have. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Or you can realize that you have everything, and therefore want nothing.

I agree with that.The more you look inside the more you realise you have everything you need.The problem is we live in a world that tells you that you have nothing and you should seek everything to have happiness.Donkey carrot situation. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

Jamaneni......I agree....maybe the reason i'm such a happy person....never intimidated by nobody. ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

But before I do that, please note that the plural of Man God remains as Man God. smh means 'samehe'. Yaani, ni samehe; nime kusamehe. So I say to you, 'smh 70×7'.
