No job, savings in the bank
living with family
lots of free time
a research direction I love
still doing the work
and it's where my talent sits
Why do I still often feel unhappy?
A few possibilities
1- Pinning hope on something vaporous and watching it fall through. Interview feedback was good but the offer never comes; you feel jerked around and still don't want to believe it.
2- Missing deep relationships. No aliveness, all shallow ties, little connection with other humans, including but not limited to intimacy
3- Self-knowledge and expectation ahead of reality. Want a good image, good energy, a strong inner life; you know what's missing but it can't happen overnight, and you can't see improvement feedback
The source of the pain seems to collapse into
the relation between self and world
Pain and happiness both seem to come from being a person
How to govern the temperament
Not kidnapped by others' good or bad opinions
Not caged by how much money or fame
Return to life itself
Live well
Do the work well
