Why Is Life So Confusing?
Posted on April 09, 2019 by Rabbi Shmuel Kopel, One of Thousands of Spirituality Coaches on Noomii.
You think you want something but you are not motivated to get it! Why does this happen?
The essence of consciousness is beyond the body. This is why people are willing to sacrifice their life and endure pain, to accomplish greater aspirations. It can also cause feeling worthless and depressed.
This happens when people fail to achieve their goals. It could also happen if someone is confused as to, what do they want? In simple terms, the “inner self” is not interested in the body. It is only interested in what the body could do!
The body has its own needs. It is designed to fight for survival and comfort. What happens when the “inner core” wants something that, is detrimental to the body? It will fight back! This creates an inner conflict of interest. In most cases, it is not good for either side.
If two cars that have the same exact build, going the same exact speed, have a head on collision, what will happen? Both cars will be forced to stop! Even if one car is stronger, the weaker car will slow it down significantly.
When a person experiences one drive that contradicts another, they often become confused. What to they really want? The answer could be both. The body is fighting for one thing, the soul is fighting for another.
In most cases, clarity could solve this issue. The body is also willing to sacrifice for worthy cause. It is the doubt that often triggers the body to fight back. Why should it give away everything it has, just to satisfy a worthless urge? The “soul” could move on after death and learn from its mistakes. The body only has one chance!
Try to recall the following situation; you really want to get something done but, you can’t seem to do it. Try to reflect and discover as many reasons a possible as to, why don’t you want to do it? Then, compare notes!
