“To be happy needs a strong spirit. It needs no courage to be miserable. That is why millions of people are miserable. The society consists of miserable people. The society wants people to be misrable, beacuse then they are easy to manipulate, control and exploit.
But to be happy one really needs a strong spirit. You need a strong spirit for two reasons: he first reason is that the whole of humanity is accustomed to living in misery and the second reason is that you have to go against the accustomed misery of humanity. It means that you have to leave the collective unconscious. You have to leave the unconscious crowd, the mob.
There are many kinds of crowds: political, religious, cults, Socialist, Communist, Capitalist, Conservative, Fascist, Christian and Islamic. The miserable person cannot be alone. He always wants to belong to a crowd. The miserable person is like a sheep, who wants to belong to a herd. Sheps are always afraid to be alone.
The happy person has to be like a lion. The first thing for being happ yis to learn to be alone. The first step is to drop the mass mind. The mob is the lowest possibility of humanity. Whenever you want to be alone and you want to leave the collective unconscious, when you want to leave the mob, the mob will try to hinder you. The mob will create every hindrance. The mob becomes afraid , because if one person leaves the mob, then other people may also try to leave the mob.
The crowd do not want to lose its power, because the crowd consists of the politicians, the priests, the establishment, the status quo, the media and the rich, and they all depend on the mob psychology.
The happy person is a danger to all of them. So this is why a strong spirit is needed to go against the mob psychology to be happy.”

“To be happy, we must fulfil our individual innate potential. Otherwise, we will feel frustrated at some level. In fulfilling ourselves, we will naturally contribute something of worth to the world. Selfish ambition, whether blatant or secret, destroys many a friendship and many a career. Selfish ambition cannot help but see others as competition. If someone else is succeeding, we think that means that we are not or perhaps not as well as them. Dedication to the good of all, including ourselves, takes the ill-will out of competitive thinking and makes the way to success smoother than we could otherwise orchestrate. We will have God/good on our team.”
