What Makes Life Complete?

[havoc]

Do you have an answer?

Is there an answer?

Let's see, from personal experiences.....I have been in love but not complete, I have been loved but not complete, I have financial security at the present moment but not complete, I have good friends but not complete, I have attained athletic and academic goals but not complete, blah blah, I could go on and on, is it all of this that makes one complete or a few of these worthless items that make life complete? I don't have a clue, the only completeness I have ever felt has usually been by myself in my car or place of rest with my thoughts on my faith and Creator.........and these moments of "bliss" are really perfect and genuine, I have no worries, no pains, no negativity, nothing,... and the worries, pains and negativity I experience are nothing to sway me from my agenda(s) but enough to post questions like this thread involves. The true moments usually don't last long but they are enough to give hope and belief that completeness will come one day. The real world is what breaks up my "moments".

What about the completeness in your life?

Death does dumbass.

That would most certainly be the final chapter in the physical sense.

I didn't want to take away from Havoc thought inspiring post so here a serious reply.

It might be typical or standard but some physical items make up parts of my completeness.
Having a house and a car are two major parts.
Having complete love, that is a wife whom I love and who loves me and the two are not co-dependant in the least.
Having a relatively secure job that enables me to establish a secure financial backing for retirement.

At this point my life has a complete feel to it, but I still have the feeling that I want to hold a baby in my arms that is mine. Though I doubt even having this will give me some kind of completeness or when they are able to support themselves or begin having children of their own – I don’t know.

I am happy, I feel mostly complete.

Waking up daily, great health, sailing, my family,my faith, SEX, and a job I love 90% of the time!

Surviving is important...Thriving is elegant!

I know I use that too much, but when the foo shits....

I'm gonna go with death as well.
Everything up to that is the random walk of your experiences.

Outside of any religious views, "you" in the physical sense never really die out - just "you" in the sense of your consciousness in the electrical signals in your head go away.
The building blocks of your body, after death, are traded off to something else.
It is just a matter of how far down you want to go - atomic level?

So reincarnation to some degree, but not at the conscious level, instead just conservation of matter/mass/energy, all the same anyway.

When you have complete control over your time.

When you have complete control over your time.

Better still, having complete control of time, or time not having contol over you. That and X-Ray vision.

Why would you want to be complete? Wouldn't that mean that you have nothing left to strive for?

Why strive when you can enjoy what is finally there for you to enjoy? Don't we all want to stop working so damn hard and just relax and enjoy?

Actually, I enjoy my work - it keeps my mind alive and makes other people happy, helps grown ups spend time with kids.

But yes, I am tired and would like to enjoy life for a change.

Completeness is not something you achieve it is something you realise you have. It is like living in the shade and then thinking you long for something then you step into the heat of the sun and suffer sunburn. You then long for the comfort of the shade. Just realise that you are complete. Don't strive to be complete.
