Top 5 Things That Ruin Our Lives

If we carefully look around ourselves, we find that things that ruin us are in exactly the same abundance as the things that benefit us. Ruining and enriching are just the two sides of the same coin. For anything to ruin us, it just needs to be absent or in excess. For anything to be beneficial to us, it just needs to be in the right amount or dose.

If we carefully look around ourselves, we find that things that ruin us are in exactly the same abundance as the things that benefit us. Ruining and enriching are just the two sides of the same coin. For anything to ruin us, it just needs to be absent or in excess. For anything to be beneficial to us, it just needs to be in the right amount or dose. Even lethal snake venom can be life saving medicine. Even life giving water or oxygen can be deadly and actually kill.

The following are the top five things that ruin people's lives:

1. Power: Lack of power, excess power, underuse, overuse, misuse. All.

2. Money: lack thereof, excess thereof, underuse, overuse, misuse. All.

3. Confidence: Under-confidence, over-confidence, both

4. Under and over-intelligence (Debatable)

5. Ambition: lack thereof, excess thereof, both

I would like to add point 6: Diseases and ill-health.

Believe it or not, Point number 6 is the least vile of these.

If present in the right amount, these six things provide quality of life. Too little or too much begins wreaking havoc…

These 6 points often work hand-in-hand, and are closely entangled with each other and follow each other in a vicious circle to the point that often one cannot tell where one begins and the other ends. Wanna try separating them?

Anyone having too little of any or all (Oh hell!) of these is the reason why people say the world is a sad place and so not worth living. It even sounds tragic: No power, no money, no confidence, no intelligence, no ambition, no health.

Anyone having too much of any or all (Oh hell!) these 5 things is the reason why people say the world is a sad place and so not worth living. What this sounds like may really depend upon your personality and character: Too much power, too much money, too much confidence, too much intelligence, too much ambition. That might just be spelling Hitler and other notorious people on the bandwagon.

All these points are applicable only to worldly-normal, sane, practical, straight-head people. For the spiritually inclined ones, a lack of these points is a highly sought after state. It’s an ambition of another kind, intelligence of another kind!

Other things that ruin people’s lives are: tobacco, alcohol, drugs, weapons, love of animal products, love of animal meat, dishonesty, lies, vanity, greed, cheating, social media. But that’s common knowledge...

Thank you for reading.
