I’m a sane person with a privileged life, which has led me to be naturally 'happy.' I’ve never really thought about why or how—I just am. Lately, I’ve been getting into philosophy, and all these concepts, values, and 'rules' are starting to confuse me. It feels like I suddenly have to watch everything I do and how I do it. So, I’m asking you: would you rather live a life without overthinking it but being happy, or a life where you actively strive to follow a belief system, constantly putting yourself under self-examination? This makes me think that a person’s 'philosophy of life' is either innate or shaped by past experiences. Because if you have to 'force' yourself to follow what you believe in, then maybe you don’t truly believe it deep down.
