Busy-ness as a Form of Happiness
Filed under: Business? No. Just keeping busy, not necessarily making money but keeping oneself occupied.
oredom or inactivity will not bring about happiness. Just ask retired or very rich people who do not work; they can sink into depression quite easily as they lack a sense of accomplishment (even making one’s meal can be a sort of accomplishment). They’re not distracted from ordinary issues and they drift into a world of “entertainment”, sometimes other people’s lives (strangers or fictional characters). They’re overthinking things and having regrets because they’re busy recalling the past instead of focusing on the present.
Feeling down? Keep busy and it might go away, as new thoughts and feelings obscure the prior ones.
