Life: The actions of humans and reaching contention.

WARNING THIS IS A LONG ASS POST:
Ahem, this is going to be a different kind of post. No rantings on *sigh* Soulja Boy here. This post will be examining why human beings do the things we do and whether or not all our actions are to simply be happy in a moment or long term scheme. I urge you to take a read because I believe these questions are ones to seriously be discussed. Now most of this will be hypothetical situations and looking into my own life, and the ones around me, and trying to figure out why people act the way they do.

Basically this post is to look at different everyday choices and more important decisions that every single person makes and to see if these are simply to make us, as people, "happy".

Now I think it depends on the severity of the action. For instance, obviously if I were hungry, I would eat. Thus making me content and satisfied. Now this situation can be applied to more grander situations as well. Think about it, apply that hunger situation to the bigger challenges in your life. The hunger, can be like the hunger for happiness and its pursuit.

Also, I believe it depends on the type of person. There are many people in the world and the ones I have come across are morally complex even if they are shallow and manipulating to other human beings. They often are shallow and manipulating to please or better themselves in order for them to be happy.

We are all so caught up in other people's lives and what they think of us, and we try to better ourselves, to be the best version of ourselves, to please and impress others. Now I will deal with the whole "what people think of us" in a different post but it applies to these questions because we want to care and think about what people think of us to be the "better version" which makes us happy. If people like us, we like ourselves.
Now there are others who don't give a damn what people think and who, tend to be more happy. These are two types of people who seek contention in different ways however dealing with social interaction as a way to be "happy".
I put happy in quotations for I don't really think many people know what pure happiness is. That, or that we have different meanings of the word. This brings me to how different people subconciously reach contention out of providing and pleasing others as well as people who do certain actions out of necessity or responsibility.

I truly believe that there are three forms of action. Acting out of personal contention, subconscious contention, and acting out of obligation. I dealt with personal contention but what I mean by subconscious contention is the act of selflessly pleasing other people.
We find this in parents, in good Samaritans, in friends, and love. Fathers and mothers provide for their offspring whatever way they can. Good Samaritans do random acts of kindness to strangers who enter their lives and quickly exit just as fast. Friends act in kindness to other friends who do the same to them. We talk about love as a selfless act of feeling towards another human being. I'm not talking about love for a child or love for a friend, I've covered that, I'm talking about the euphoric love for another person. We say it's a selfless act and often we do actions to help a loved one or let them go thus paining us. However we also love to be loved. Or we do the important things to our loved ones to be at rest and do the right thing thus assuring ourselves we did the right thing thus giving us contention. Which essentially, is what I'm saying about parenting, acts of kindness, and friendship. We do these things often subconsciously to feel better about ourselves and put us at ease. Ease is content.

Some of our actions are truly selfless and are out of obligation. Such as loving responsibility I already mentioned. There's a difference between parental subconscious happiness and parental responsibility. Parents are responsible for their children, we are animals after all. And when a parent abandons their child they are doing so in order to lighten their burden and lead an easier life, that or they are not prepared to handle it. Of course I'm sure there are other reasons. Anyway, there are different actions that people perform out of obligation.
Relating back to Confucianism and the 5 relationships:
-subject to ruler
-father to son
-friend to friend
-husband to wife
-sibling to sibling

This shows the duty of different relationships and shows how your actions are first to satisfy responsibility.

So, in the end, I firmly believe there are three types of action. And sometimes people don't always know how to be people and thus don't know about responsibility or happiness (will be discussed in another post).
This has been an extremely long post, but I needed to vent and explain this.

These are deeply philosophical questions but are ones that need to discussed and thought about in order for us to become a better race.

This needs to end.

Die.

Now.

Bye.
