Would you be happy if you had nothing left to strive for?

Question: Would you be happy if you had nothing left to strive for!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Yes because that would mean that you had accomplished everything you wanted!. Life could be about living instead of striving!. This question reminds me of the Daoist/Taoist concept of Wu Wei, or action through inaction!. Now, I am neither a Daoist, nor have I studied Daoism extensively, but what I think this means is that we don't have to act - to strive for things to happen!. Things will just happen!. I know I didn't explain that very well so here are some Daoist quotes for you to interpret for yourself:

"The world is a spiritual vessel, and one cannot act upon it;
one who acts upon it destroys it!." ~ Tao Te Ching

"When nothing is done, nothing is left undone!." ~ Tao Te Ching

“Happiness is the absence of the striving for happiness!.”
~ Chuang-Tzu

“Flow with whatever may happen and let your mind be free!. Stay centered by accepting whatever you are doing!. This is the ultimate!.” ~ Chuang-TzuWww@QuestionHome@Com

I can't see how it would ever be possible to have nothing left to strive for!. You may lose the will to strive, but there is always a direction in which to point, something to seek and explore and know!. It doesn't always have to be something better !.!.!. but simply more!. More knowledge, more happiness !.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

No!! I need goals to strive for, so that I know I'm improving, or helping people, or doing whatever to add meaning to my life!. Fortunately I never have to worry about not having goals because I am striving for the ultimate goal humanly possible, Jesus Christ!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

While I seriously doubt that I could run out of things to strive for, if I did run out, and what I was doing was some kind of perfect, then knowing me it would help humanity, and I would just keep going!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Whatever the Creative Power created constant struggle and we have a choice happy or sad; whatever the choice the struggle exists, the striving exists!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I may be able to fake happiness for a little while, but I would eventually realize I was living an empty life and fall into a deep depression!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
