Now I am enjoying a relaxed life. In this way of life, I emphasize various meaningless activities and don’t pursue a single aspect of value. Let’s talk about why I have come to like such a style.
How to be freed from the stress of meaning
Sometimes, we want to free ourselves from the stress of seeking meaning in life. It is exciting but exhausting.
However, we sometimes struggle to appreciate worthless activities that don’t have a specific goal.
For example, we usually think that if we continue a certain activity for ten years, our skills will increase. On the other hand, spending 10 years doing various meaningless things doesn’t seem to bring us efficient abilities. That makes us want to continue doing one thing for a long time.
Recently, I understood that there is another way to enjoy valueless activities. The essence of all activities has a similarity. This awareness might allow you to enjoy multiple unrelated activities and grow from many perspectives.
Focusing on the essence
The essence of all activities is the same. This perspective will free you from your obsession with continuing a single activity.
For example, I have been learning sewing recently, but I realized that its essence is the same as blogging, publishing books, and developing games. I envision what I create, design it, gather the materials, and assemble it. The difference is only whether we use concepts or pieces of fabric.
The essence of other activities is the same. Pulling weeds, chores, production, and our lives have a similarity.
That teaches us one lesson: there is not such a big difference between continuing one thing for a long time and experiencing various essentials. As long as we can progress our lives, we don’t mind either way.
Engaging in meaningless activities often tells us another aspect of the values we have not noticed. That can also become part of something meaningful.
At the same time, sticking to one thing often binds us to one aspect of value. That can become part of something worthless.
Conclusion
That is another way to enjoy valueless activities.
The essence of all activities is the same.
This awareness might allow you to enjoy multiple unrelated activities and grow from many perspectives.
Thank you for reading this article. I hope to see you in the next one.
