Happiness

There is happiness when each moment is used in a worthwhile way.
Happiness is such a nourishment that it can transform a person from weak into powerful.
It makes difficult things easy; heavy things light.
To remain happy and share happiness with others is the greatest act of charity.
No matter what happens, your happiness should not be lost.

Alexander Baburin wrote:It has been said that science or research has a strong tendency to kill the problem or system that it is researching.

First a simplified view of the system is taken which enables the first researcher to focus on achieving some progress in analysing a part of this simplified system. Then the next researcher comes, uses the same or even very slightly more simplified version or definition of the system and continues digging in a similar direction. This kind of spiral in the direction of knowing more and more about a more and more simplified system that is more and more distant from reality can, and in many cases does, continue for a very long time. It might even happen that people think that they know almost everything about the system when in reality they have only iterated the spiral long enough to let the simplified system become very very small.

At some point it usually becomes obvious that reality and theory do not match and someone decides to jump up out of the deep hole and take a fresh look on the system that people are trying to understand. This is often where real progress happens.

Trudie Bartholomew wrote:Some people give, in a very special way, much more to humanity than they can ever receive in return in the current life.

The things that we do in selflessness, asking nothing in return for the self, creates positive effects in the substance of the highest heavens, therefore it is not possible to see the fruits in the dense atoms of the physical plane.

It is however built into the permanent atoms and are seeds in the new physical, astral and mental bodies of the next life, or possibly a lifetime thousands of years from now. If you feel that you are not being compensated for your little deeds of unconditional love, understanding, sacrifice and goodwill, just carry on and let it go! The reward is so exquisite and special, that it is kept for you in a place of beauty and bliss beyond our imagination and comprehension, much closer to the heart of God.

Baher Azmy wrote:Milan Kundera, the absurdist critic of soviet totalitarianism wrote that 'the struggle of humankind against power is the struggle of memory against forgetting'. Becuase Kundera believed that the great tool undemocratic regimes is to use their power to alter or reconstruct reality, he thought it essential that artists, journalists, and dissidents make a record of their memory as a form of resistance and of truth.

You should always keep your word. All the setbacks in life come only because you don't keep your word.

James Allen wrote:He who aspires to the betterment of himself and humanity should ceaselessly strive to arrive at the exercise if that blessed attitude of mind by which he is enabled to put himself, mentally and sympathetically, in the place of others, and so, instead of harshly and falsely judging them, and thereby making himself unhappy without adding to the happiness of those others, he will enter into their experience, will understand their particular frame of mind, and will feel for them and sympathise with them.

One of the great obstacles to the attainment of such an attitude of mind is prejudice, and until this is removed it is impossible to act towards others as we would wish others to act towards us. Prejudice is destructive of kindness, sympathy, love and true judgement, and the strength of a man's prejudice will be the measure of his harshness and unkindness towards others, for prejudice and cruelty are inseparable.

There is no rationality in prejudice, and, immediately it is aroused in a man he ceases to act as a reasonable being, and gives way to rashness, anger and injurious excitement. He does not consider his words nor regard the feeling and liberties of those against whom his prejudices are directed. He has, for the time being forfeited his manhood, and has descended to the level of an irrational creature. While a man is determined to cling to his preconceived opinions, mistaking them for Truth, and refuses to consider dispassionately the position of others, he cannot escape hatred nor arrive at blessedness.
