Why Do We Need EXCITMENT to Be Happy?

Following an interesting wall-to-wall session with a friend of mine on Facebook I started wondering about the question above. You might think I’m exaggerating here but I’m not!

Seriously, look at it like this...

Have you not realised when everything is okay in your life you start complaining about how boring it is? (I know I do...)


I don’t know why it is like this but for some peculiar reason us human beings like TROUBLE! Or maybe you like me like to justify it by calling it EXCITMENT...

In my friend’s words: That is so true. 'Simple' don’t cut it in life.

He is so right and his words put it in the best possible way.
But what I don’t understand is why don’t the simple things in life make us happy anymore? So much so that when our lives are uncomplicated and straightforward we go out
LOOKING for TROUBLE?
It’s like we get bored with the simplicity of our existence and justify it to ourselves by saying things like “Everything is going okay in my life at the moment so that means something bad is going to happen soon”
Ermmmm...how about actually just being satisfied with how our lives are going instead of thinking about negativity that can ruin our positivity?

Remember ... (In the famous words of the Pussycat Dolls! Haha...Forgive the cheesy reference but I thought it was pretty funny)

“Be careful what you wish for because you just might get it”
This statement is completely true though....

Fair enough in life a bit of excitement is good for the soul and it does make life a lot more interesting BUT sometimes we as people get so bored that we go out of our way to create drama for ourselves. A classic example of this is an episode of Girlfriends (I was a HUGE fan of the show until they cancelled it *frown* )

In the beginning of Season Three entitled Coming to Terms...Toni decides that her life is getting very boring so decided to create her own "excitement" by inviting both her ex boyfriends to Joan’s Bring You Ex party. Now call me crazy but I remember her cheating on these men with each other so she must be bored ridiculously to create that amount of drama for some "excitement" in her life!
I know that was an extreme example but you are getting my drift with this...

This sense of excitement can be linked to relationships...Even when our partner is perfect for us in their unique way
SOME of us will still find a way of creating excitement (or if you are being truthful TROUBLE or DRAMA! )

We do this by creating pointless problems...
What I mean by this is within our happy, straightforward relationships (I know not all relationships work like this but for the purpose of this point they are!) we
LOOK for faults in our partners which equals TROUBLE!

“When you struggle with your partner, you are struggling with yourself. Every fault you see in them touches a denied weakness in yourself.” - Deepak Chopra

If our logic didn’t work like this we would probably get bored anyways and that is because IT’S ALL ABOUT EXCITMENT at the end of the day!

Although one thing we just need to remember next time we are looking for our next piece of “excitement" is...
You get what you wish for and you might not always like the repercussions of your choices(and actions) so be careful what you wish for!

I guess we just have to accept the only simple explanation for this mad roll coaster called "life" and that is we are ALL secretly twisted as human beings =)

Wow, it's like you read my mind. I defo agree with u everything does happen for a reason. People maybe choose to make their life complicated because they don't want to completly focus on themselves and their talents cuz they're afraid to fail, so maybe people create obstacles to avoid this...i dunno.
I'm just glad ur using ur talent, not only does it benefit you it also benefits everyone else!!!
